Authorities in Baltimore have arrested a 17-year-old suspect in connection with a shooting at a block party on July 2 that left two people dead and 28 others injured. He was taken into custody on Friday (July 7) after members of the Homicide and SWAT team conducted an early-morning search at his home.
The suspect, who was not identified, is being charged as an adult with possession of a firearm by a minor, assault weapon possession, reckless endangerment, and carrying a handgun in a vehicle.
