A teenage boy was arrested in Lakewood on Friday, May 29, a day after he allegedly fatally shot another teenager in North Long Beach, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Long Beach police were called to East Plymouth Street and Cedar Avenue, about a block east of Long Beach Boulevard, just past 12:30 p.m. Thursday, where they found a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound, police said.<\/p>\n
The victim was taken to a hospital, but he died, police said.<\/p>\n
On Friday, homicide detectives identified the suspect as another 15-year-old boy and took him into custody in Lakewood, police said. A more specific location of the arrest was not known.<\/p>\n
The teen was booked into Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall on suspicion of murder and minor in possession of a firearm, police said. He was being held without bail.<\/p>\n
Neither the suspect nor the victim were immediately identified by police. The victim\u2019s identity was withheld pending notification of his relatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am deeply troubled by the killing of a 15 year old and it is extremely alarming that the suspect believed to be responsible is also 15 years old,\u201d Long Beach Police Chief Wally Hebeish said in a statement. \u201cThe Long Beach Police Department will never allow youth violence to be normalized in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said detectives worked nonstop before taking the boy into custody and secured critical evidence.<\/p>\n
