A 16-year-old has been arrested after police found a firearm allegedly connected to the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy last month in San Bernardino, police said.
At about 3:30 p.m. on March 27, a Wednesday, officers received a report of a shooting involving juveniles near 13th Street and Acacia Avenue.
Ayden Rodriguez, 14, of San Bernardino was found suffering from a gunshot wound and died at a medical facility.
San Bernardino police served search warrants and on Wednesday, April 10, took the 16-year-old into custody on suspicion of killing Rodriguez, authorities said.
A firearm was found and “matched evidence recovered at the scene of the shooting,” officials said in a statement.
Capt. Nelson Carrington said the shooting’s motive remains part of the investigation.
Other details surrounding the investigation and arrest were not made public.
San Bernardino police asked anyone with information about the case to call Detective T. Montez at 909-384-5762.
