Jasper County authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of Daniel D. Hartman, 17, on charges of first degree murder, armed criminal action, and first degree burglary.

Jacob A. Wages, 23, was found dead in a Joplin residence on the morning of July 6, 2012. Police said the preliminary results of an autopsy on Saturday showed the cause of death as a homicide.
