FALLS CITY, Neb. (AP) — A Falls City man accused of fatally shooting a relative in August is facing a murder charge.

Deputy County Attorney Zach Blackman says a charge against Desiderio Hernandez has been upgraded to first-degree murder. He was previously charged with attempted first-degree murder.

34-year-old Hernandez is accused of shooting 31-year-old Joseph Debella Jr. on Aug. 5. Debella died days later at a Lincoln hospital. Authorities say the men were cousins.

Hernandez was arrested after a nearly seven-hour standoff at a home in Kansas. He faces other charges including use of a firearm to commit a felony.

A message left for an attorney representing Hernandez was not immediately returned Friday.
