SEATTLE (AP) — Prosecutors have accused a Seattle teen of fatally shooting a man, stealing his money and then posing with the victim's gun in a picture she posted on Facebook after the killing.

Seattlepi.com reports that the 16-year-old was arrested last week in the death of Emmanuel Gondo, who was found shot to death in his car in February.

Charging documents say the teen, who investigators described as a runaway, had planned to rob Gondo. A Seattle police detective says Gondo's cellphone, gun and wallet were missing when they found his body.

The teen has also been accused of referring to the shooting in Facebook postings.

The girl is scheduled to appear in court on May 2.
