Investigators charged a teenager on Thursday morning in connection with the death of another teenager who they said died from a drug overdose.

The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office said 19-year-old Nikolas Flores was charged with second-degree murder.

Investigators said 19-year-old Christopher Waters was found dead by family members at a Mills River home on Aug. 11, 2008.

An autopsy revealed Waters died from an overdose of methadone, which investigators said he was given by Flores.

Flores was being held at the Henderson County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.
