Detectives were able to track down the suspected shooter, and he was arrested Tuesday for the homicide.
The suspect is a juvenile, however, so police have not released his name. He may be identified in the future as minors can sometimes be charged as adults in the case of a serious crime, such as a homicide.
Detectives were also able to recover the murder weapon.
The two other suspects involved in the fight are not being charged.
