Law enforcement officials have arrested a 19-year-old man for the Oct. 16 murder of 14-year-old Duval DeShields, according to Philadelphia police.
Dimitrius Brown, 19, of the 900 block of North Marvine St. was charged with murder, criminal conspiracy and related offenses in the teen's death, officials said.
The shooting occurred Monday, Oct. 12, at about 8:40 p.m. on the 1200 block of N. 10th St., near Girard Avenue.
That evening, officers arrived on scene to find DeShields, of the 2600 block of Jessup Street, suffering from a gunshot wound to his head, police said.
Officers placed DeShields inside their vehicle and transported him to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was listed in extremely critical condition. Duval died of his injuries on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 5 p.m.
