Police arrested a 15-year-old teenage boy on Friday for their connection to a shooting that left 15-year-old Andre Robertson Jr. dead in D.C. in October.
On Oct. 13 officers from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) responded to the 500 block of 48th St. in Northeast, D.C. for a report of a shooting. Once police arrived they found Robertson suffering from gunshot wounds. Robertson was sent to a hospital and was later pronounced dead after life-saving efforts failed, according to officials.
WUSA9 previously reported that Robertson was sitting on his grandmother's porch when the shooting happened. Investigators said that around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 13, three people pulled up in a gold sedan, got out, walked up to the porch Robertson was sitting on and opened fire.
"I'm angry, angry as hell, that another coward took my grandson," said his grandmother, Trealetha Robertson, just hours after his death. "Some coward came through here and murdered my little grandson for no reason."
Police said the shooting happened just steps from Kelly Miller Middle School, which was temporarily put on lockdown. A school bus had also just pulled up.
"Approximately 50 kids were exiting the bus," said MPD Sixth District Commander Darnel Robinson.
MPD said the gold sedan was found on Oct. 13, near Indian Head Highway in Prince George's County, Maryland. WUSA9 was told the vehicle was burned.
Police say they are still searching for the three suspects.
"My message to them is what goes around comes around," Robertson said. "That's the only message I got for them."
