"Hightower allegedly went into his bedroom and recovered a handgun from a shoebox, then confronted Davis and opened fire, striking him once in the chest and once in the arm before taking off."
"Authorities tracked Hightower to the Bronx on Wednesday afternoon and cuffed him just before 1 p.m. outside of an apartment building. It is believed he had been living on the streets since the shooting."
Tristan Hightower, a 16-year-old from Brooklyn, allegedly shot Jamal Davis, his mother's boyfriend, during a dispute over marijuana use. The incident occurred in their apartment on April 12. Hightower's mother, who is pregnant, had asked him to stop smoking, leading to a confrontation. After retrieving a handgun, Hightower shot Davis twice, resulting in his death. Hightower was arrested days later in the Bronx, having been living on the streets. He faces charges of murder and criminal possession of a firearm.
