15-year-old killed in NYC

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 16-year-old Clarence Jones in Harlem on October 24. The suspect was arrested late Thursday after police identified him from a wanted poster; he allegedly shot Jones in the torso at West 124th Street and Lenox Avenue. Jones was pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital shortly after the incident, which occurred amid a spate of youth violence in New York City, with five teens killed in five days. Witnesses reported that the suspects fled the scene on scooters, and police are still investigating the motive behind the shooting and whether the two boys knew each other. The suspect's name has not been released due to his age, and it remains unclear if he will be tried as a juvenile or adult. The incident has drawn attention to the rising gun violence affecting teens in the city.
