ARLINGTON, Mass. — A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection to the shooting death of a 16-year-old in Somerville last week, according to Arlington police.
The juvenile has been held without bail pending arraignment. He also has an outstanding arrest warrant in Worcester Juvenile Court, police say.
Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan announced Tuesday, a teen sought by police last week had been located and arrested in connection to the case.
Police told Boston 25 News that Jonathan Perry, 17, was not a suspect in the deadly shooting of Tenzin Kunkhyen, 16, but instead were looking for more information about what took place inside the home at 14 Farragut Ave.
Jonathan lived in the home where the shooting occurred. Tenzin had lived and attended school in Somerville but recently moved to Malden.
