CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - A second teenage boy has been arrested in a shooting that killed a Wisconsin teen who was staying at a relative's home in a Cleveland suburb.
The 16-year-old turned himself in around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18 at the Cleveland Heights Police Department, authorities said. That came four days after a 14-year-old suspect was picked up by Medina police and taken to a juvenile detention center.
The two teens are each charged as juveniles with aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder, felonious assault and improper discharge into a home. Their names have not been released, and it's not known if Cuyahoga County prosecutors will seek to try either boy as an adult.
