A 15-year-old boy surrendered to police earlier this week in connection with the shooting death of Tomasito Ledesma, age 16, on Dec. 28.
The minor is being held on second degree murder charges according to Radio One news.
Ledesma of Sally's Fancy was shot once in the head as he and a group of friends were gathered in an abandoned building near Ludvig Harrigan Court.
Reportedly the 15-year-old entered the abandoned building showing off a handgun when the weapon went off striking Ledesma, who died at 2:15 a.m. at the Gov. Juan F. Luis Hospital.
The 15-year-old turned himself in to an off-duty Police officer with whom he was acquainted, according to media reports.
He is being held at St. Croix's Youth Rehabilitation Center.
