“I will say our investigators have gathered a lot of information up to this point, but they are still continuing to gather information [as] there were a number of people there,” RPS spokesperson Elizabeth Popowich said. “Any death or homicide in our city is one too many and when it involves a young person it’s especially tragic.”

An investigation by police led to the arrest of a 15-year-old boy who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The teen is charged with second-degree murder and made his first court appearance on Monday morning. He will make his second appearance on Friday.
