(AP) – Police say a teenage boy has been arrested in
connection with the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old Little Rock girl last year.

Little Rock Police Lt. Steve McClanahan told reporters that the 17-year-old
was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a capital murder warrant in the death of
Ramiya Reed. The suspect also faces six counts of second-degree unlawful
discharge of a firearm from a vehicle.

Police say Ramiya was riding in a vehicle with her mother and others on Nov.
22, when she was struck by gunshots fired into their vehicle.

McClanahan said a second suspect is still being sought.

The city initially offered a $20,000 reward for information in the case and
recently increased it to $50,000, but McClanahan said it isn’t clear if the
reward will be paid.
