Two days after one teenager was arrested in a deadly shooting last month in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, police have arrested a second.
The shooting happened Aug. 12 on Trent Street. Police responded to find two men suffering from gunshot wounds.
One of the men, identified as 49-year-old as Leudis Mejia Sanchez of Dorchester, was pronounced dead at an area hospital. The other victim's injuries were non-life-threatening.
Police said Wednesday that a 17-year-old male was arrested on charges of murder, assault to murder, home invasion, assault to murder and carrying a firearm without a license.
Boston police arrested 18-year-old Manuel Guerrero of Dorchester on similar charges Monday.
Guerrero and the juvenile were both expected to be arraigned at Dorchester District Court, but police did not say when.
