A 17-year-old was arrested in Washington, D.C., and charged with attempted murder in the Morgan State University shooting that left five wounded last week, Baltimore police announced, and another teen is being sought in connection to the campus violence.
The unidentified 17-year-old was taken into custody on Thursday without incident, and he has been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder, the Baltimore Police Department said in a statement Friday morning.
Detectives have also issued an attempted murder warrant for 18-year-old Jovan Williams in connection to this shooting, police said, adding that Williams was considered armed and dangerous.
The Baltimore Police Department said it worked with Washington, D.C., police and federal law enforcement agencies to identify and find the shooters from surveillance video obtained during the shooting.
“We will not rest until Williams is in custody," Richard Worley, the commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department, said in the statement. "While this arrest cannot undo the damage and trauma caused that day, it is my hope that it can bring some peace and justice to the victims, the Morgan community and our city."
