A 17-year-old is facing a murder charge in connection with the shooting death of another teen last month in the Tremé.
New Orleans police say they arrested William West, Jr., on Tuesday on a warrant for second-degree murder and booked him into the Orleans Parish Prison.
The shooting happened just after midnight on May 12 near the corner or North Derbigny and Columbus Streets.
According to investigators, West shot Ferdinand Woolens at a high school graduation party. Woolens, 18, died three days later at a hospital.
Detectives say surveillance video near the crime scene (seen below) shows other possible suspects. Police ask that you call them at 504-658-5300 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 if you recognize anyone in the video.
