Boy, 16, arrested in caught-on-video NYC shooting of teen, cops say

A 16-year-old boy was busted this week in connection to the caught-on-video shooting of another teen in a Brooklyn lobby back in May, cops said. 

The teen, whose name was not released because of his age, was arrested at 3:30 p.m. Monday and charged with attempted murder in connection to the May 16 shooting that injured a 17-year-old boy in the lobby of a Coney Island building at West 24th Street and Surf Avenue, police said. 

Footage of the 7 p.m. shooting shows two suspects entering the building before one of them, wearing a light-colored hoodie, fired at least three times down the hallway.

The teen victim was struck in the foot and taken to NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn in stable condition, police said.
