INDIANAPOLIS — An arrest has been made in a shooting that left a 17-year-old male dead and another juvenile critically injured on Indy's northeast side last month.

According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the suspect was located and taken into custody in the 5200 block of Montavia Lane on April 10.

The arrest stems from the suspect's alleged involvement in the death of 17-year-old 17-year-old Tywon Jones on March 30.

On that day, officers responded to a report of a person shot in the 10000 block of E. 42nd St. Upon arrival, officers located a juvenile victim in the parking lot and another juvenile on the front porch of a residence. Both victims were found with gunshot injuries.

Police said one of the victims, later identified as Jones, died.
