The teenager was arrested Wednesday and is charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, possession of a handgun by a juvenile and a sentence-enhancing charge for an aggravated juvenile offender, the district attorney’s office said in a news release Friday.
No other details about the teen or case were released because the suspect is a juvenile.
