According to a recent news release from the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office, a teenager has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy at Rotella Park last Saturday. The teenager was taken into custody on Wednesday and is also facing charges of first-degree assault, possession of a handgun, and an additional charge for being an aggravated juvenile offender.
Due to the suspect's status as a juvenile, no further information about the individual or the case has been released at this time. The incident, which occurred around 11:18 p.m. on Saturday, was initially reported to Adams County sheriff's deputies who responded to the scene at Rotella Park. Tragically, they discovered the victim, 15-year-old Ricardo Alonzo Elgueta Fuentes, had succumbed to a gunshot wound to the neck. Another teenager was also found with a gunshot wound to the leg.
