WA: Man charged with murder over Bunbury shooting death

PERTH, April 3 AAP - An 18-year-old man has been charged with murder over the shooting
death of another teenager near Bunbury, in Western Australia's south.

Police said Lawrence William Dix, 19, from Bunbury was fatally shot in the right armpit
at his family's Piara Way home at Dalyellup, a suburb of Bunbury, at about 6.30pm (WST)
on Sunday.

The accused allegedly went to the house with three other men where an argument broke
out between Mr Dix and one of the other men, police said.

The offender then allegedly shot Mr Dix from the back seat of a dark coloured utility
before the car sped away from the scene.

The 18-year-old man, from the Bunbury suburb of College Grove, will appear in the Bunbury
magistrates Court today charged with murder.

Three other men questioned by police have not been charged.

Forensic police spent much of yesterday examining the victim's home.
