    A Cheyenne teenager faces a possible homicide charge following the death of his significant other.
19-year old Charles Karn was arrested Friday on charges of aggravated assault, strangulation of a household member, and domestic battery after 19-year old Phoenix Cerenil was injured in an incident early Thursday morning.
Cerenil died at a Cheyenne hospital yesterday afternoon, raising the possibility of homicide charges being filed against Karn.
      Cheyenne Police Spokeswoman Alex Farkas says officers responding to a 911 hang-up call at a camper found Cerenil unresponsive with signs of an apparent strangulation.Â
Karn’s booking sheet says investigators determined that Karn had pushed Cerenil, causing her to fall and hit her head on a table near their bed, knocking her unconscious.
Karn remains in the Laramie County Detention Center on a $25,000 cash bond awaiting a preliminary hearing this coming Friday on the original 3 charges.
