An autopsy determined the Bonboster died after being stabbed multiple times.
Investigators say Bonboster had a roommate, 20-year-old Lawrence Madrid, and lived nearby.
Detectives questioned Madrid and his 17-year-old girlfriend. Police believe there was a fight between the group at the house, and the teen stabbed Bonboster multiple times with a knife.
The teen has been booked into the Juvenile Justice Center for murder. Madrid is now in the Fresno County Jail and will be charged with accessory to murder.
