Upon motion of the prosecuting attorney and after full investigation and hearing, the juvenile court shall waive jurisdiction if it finds that:

1. (1) the child is charged with an act that would be murder if committed by an adult;
2. (2) there is probable cause to believe that the child has committed the act; and

3. (3) the child was at least twelve (12) years of age when the act charged was allegedly committed;

   unless it would be in the best interests of the child and of the safety and welfare of the community for the child to remain within the juvenile justice system.
