QUESTA, N.M. – The first man charged under Bennie’s Law is scheduled to go on trial Monday. 

Prosecutors charged William Brown with negligently making a firearm accessible to a minor after a shooting at Brown’s Questa home last summer.

Police say William’s son, Porfirio Brown, shot and killed a 13-year-old girl. 

Porfirio was 14 years old at the time. He went on trial for second-degree murder earlier this year, but it ended in a hung jury.

Porfirio is scheduled to go back on trial in August.
