The arraignment has been set for a 17-year-old charged with first-degree murder.

Charles William Curtis Thompson was charged with the October 2009 shooting death of John Versypt, a landlord who was checking up on one of his apartment buildings on Broadway. Police believe Thompson, who came to Iowa City from Holland, Mich., in the summer of 2008, planned to rob Versypt.

Thompson’s arraignment is set for March 4 at 2 p.m.
