Scott County Prosecutor Jason Mount charged 21-year-old James Matthew Caudill of Austin with murder, felony murder, robbery and other counts Friday in connection with the Nov. 7 shooting death of 79-year-old John Turner of John's Coin and Jewelry in Austin, about 30 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky.
 
His brother, 31-year-old Christopher Caudill of Austin, is charged with assisting a criminal, theft and other counts.
