TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tampa police arrested a 16-year-old in connection to a shooting involving another minor Tuesday, officials said.

According to the Tampa Police Department, officers were called to West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at about 1 p.m. after a boy in his mid-teens was shot in broad daylight.

Investigators said surveillance video showed the 16-year-old suspect waiting in an alleyway nearby as the victim was walking on North Albany Avenue.

The suspect then walked up to the other teenager and shot him, officers said.

According to the department, the suspect tried to fire his gun again but it jammed so the suspect ran away.

However, the suspect was quickly identified by an officer who conducts curfew checks. The 16-year-old was arrested at his home on charges of attempted murder in the first degree and aggravated battery.

“There’s nothing more alarming than a blatant disregard for another person’s life,” said Chief Lee Bercaw. “Violence in our community and amongst juveniles will not be tolerated. I’m appreciative of all the hard work our detectives and officers did in less than 24 hours that led to this quick arrest. It is also due in part to the everyday efforts of officers assigned to juvenile checks that work to keep those with extensive criminal histories accountable.”
