LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Police say a teenage boy has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old Little Rock girl last year.
Little Rock Police Lt. Steve McClanahan told reporters that the 17-year-old was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a capital murder warrant in the death of Ramiya Reed. The suspect also faces six counts of second-degree unlawful discharge of a firearm from a vehicle.
Police say Ramiya was riding in a vehicle with her mother and others on Nov. 22, when she was struck by gunshots fired into their vehicle.
McClanahan said a second suspect is still being sought.
The city initially offered a $20,000 reward for information in the case and recently increased it to $50,000, but McClanahan said it isn’t clear if the reward will be paid.
