   DENVER -- The teenager accused of killing a 7-year-old boy and hiding his body will be charged as an adult, the Denver District Attorney's Office said Monday. 
   
   The girl’s identity will not be released because she is a juvenile, but the Denver Police Department said the victim was her nephew. 
   
   Police said the 16-year-old girl intentionally killed Jordan Vong, then wrapped his body in a blanket and hid him in a portable closet in her basement bedroom. 
   
   According to a probable cause statement, the suspect lived in the basement of the victim's home in the Montbello neighborhood. 
   
   On the day Vong died, Aug. 6, the statement said the teen was upset after having a fight with her girlfriend. About 12:43 p.m., the child came downstairs and asked her to play video games with him. 
   
   The teen told police that she instructed the child to go upstairs but instead he went to sit on her bed, upsetting her. She said she pushed the 7-year-old off the bed and he hit his face on the floor. 
   
   When the boy began to cry, the child's aunt said she placed her hand over his mouth and plugged his nose, holding down the struggling child until he stopped moving. 
   
   The 16-year-old told police she put the body under her bed before wrapping him in a blanket and placing him in one of the two portable closets in her room. 
   
   Vong was reported missing about 4:30 p.m. from the 4900 block of Fairplay Street near Chambers Road and Bolling Drive. 
   
   Police combed through neighborhoods. Hundreds of posters were put up and officers searched a 20-block radius around the home. The FBI was also called in. 
   
   The next night, police revealed Jordan’s body was found. The 16-year-old was arrested the next morning. 
   
   "It was intentionally concealed, and it took some time to find it," said Joe Montoya, division chief of investigations. 
   
   The teen "didn't tell any of her family what she had done to Jordan because she was afraid," according to the statement. ||||| After a 16-year-old girl killed her 7-year-old nephew, she wrapped his body in a blanket and stored it in a portable closet in her basement bedroom in the family’s Montbello home, according to court documents released Monday. 
   
   The teenage girl will be charged as an adult in Jordan Vong’s death. 
   
   The Denver District Attorney’s Office said Monday that the girl, who was not immediately identified by name, is being charged on suspicion of murder in the first-degree after deliberation and child abuse resulting in death. 
   
   Jordan Vong was reported missing the afternoon of Aug. 6, sparking an extensive search by police and neighbors. 
   
   Two days later, after police obtained a search warrant for the house in the 4900 block of Fairplay Street, a Denver police detective found Jordan’s body in the closet. The coroner’s office was called to the home and the boy was pronounced dead at the scene. 
   
   On Monday, the coroner’s office ruled his death a homicide, but the cause of death has not been determined. 
   
   According to a probable cause statement, the teenage girl was in her basement bedroom on Aug. 6, upset about an earlier argument with a girlfriend. Jordan went to her room and asked if she wanted to play video games. 
   
   “She told Jordan she didn’t want to play with him and told him to go upstairs,” the court document said. 
   
   Jordan lay down on her bed. He refused to leave the room. Then, according to the document, the girl pushed him off the bed, causing him to strike his face on the floor. 
   
   “Jordan began to cry,” the statement said. “She placed her hand over Jordan’s mouth and plugged his nose as Jordan began to struggle for a few minutes.” 
   
   Jordan stopped moving and she slid his body under her bed. The suspect later took the body from under the bed, wrapped it in a blanket, and placed it in one of two portable closets in her room, the document said. 
   
   “She didn’t tell any of her family what she had done to Jordan because she was afraid,” the statement said. “Nor did she tell any of her family where she had hid Jordan.” 
   
   When a search warrant was executed at the home on Wednesday, a detective found the body at 8:46 p.m., according to the court document. 
   
   Paramedics with Denver Health Medical Center at the home on Wednesday said in the statement that Jordan’s body had a towel and comforter wrapped around his head and “biological matter” and blood around his nose. An unknown imprint was on his chest. 
   
   The defendant’s first appearance in district court has not yet been scheduled.
