A teenager was arrested Wednesday in a shooting thatĀ killed a young woman and wounded six other peopleĀ at a Brooklyn apartment building in November, police said.
The 17-year-old boy, whose name was not released, was arrested on murder and weapons-possession charges, the New York Police Department said.
Police have said they were looking for more than one suspect in the shooting.
The gunfire erupted late on Nov. 22 at a building on Albany Avenue in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, where police found a 14-year-old and five older teens with gunshot wounds.
Police later realized that 20-year-old Daijyonna Long had also been shot at the same place and taken in a private car to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Long lived in Virginia and was in New York to visit a friend, her grandmother and the friendĀ told the Daily NewsĀ in November.
Betty Long told the newspaper her granddaughter was a talented, outgoing college student and makeup artist.
āShe was my princess,ā the grandmother said.
At the time, police said they believed the violence was related to a shooting that wounded a 17-year-old boy about two hours earlier near a sweet-16 party in the East New York neighborhood. There’s no immediate information on whether investigators still think that’s the case.
