Police announced the arrest of a 17-year-old male whose name was not released.


The suspect was charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.


At around 9:15 pm on November 30, two men crouched behind parked cars in front of 2249 Morris Avenue. When 14-year-old Prince Shabazz and his brother walked up to the cars, the pair jumped out and opened fire. In the hail of gunfire, Shabazz was struck in the torso. 


Cops say the gunmen fled on foot to East 182nd Street where they hopped into a black Toyota Highlander and drove away.
