A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a robbery and shooting that left one person dead and another wounded, according to Metro Police.
The teen was arrested Saturday on counts of open murder and robbery, police said.
Two adults were previously arrested in connection with the same case, police said.
Officers responded about 6:15 p.m. on Jan. 26 to a report of a shooting in the 5200 block of Garden Lane and found two people suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, police said.
They were taken to a hospital, where one person was pronounced dead and the other was in critical condition, police said.
The victims were in a garage of a home in the 5200 block of Greene Lane when two people robbed them at gunpoint, police said.
The suspects fled on foot, and the victims chased them to Garden Lane, police said. A fight occurred between the victims and the suspects, and both victims were shot, police said.
Metro earlier this month announced the arrests of Ervin Ortega-Rodriguez, 21, and Daniel Meza-Ortega, 19, on counts of open murder and robbery, police said.
Police have not detailed how each of the suspects were allegedly involved in the incident.
