At 7:13 p.m., Officers LaQuay Green and Wahab Malik stopped a teen matching the suspect's description in the area of Ohio Avenue and Bacharach Boulevard.

He was found with a loaded handgun and arrested, Aristizabal said.

An investigation by detectives positively identified him as the shooter. His name is not being released due to his age.
