A teenage boy in Phoenix was arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting that left another teen dead and a child injured last week, authorities said Wednesday.
Phoenix police said a teen boy was arrested Wednesday and referred to the juvenile detention center for murder, FOX10 Phoenix reported.
No details on how the teen was involved in the shooting were immediately available. His identity was not released because he is a juvenile.
The arrest comes nearly a week after a vehicle carrying multiple people drove through a parking lot near 1st Avenue and Thomas Road and opened fire on another car, Phoenix police said.
