A 17-year-old gunman was arrested on Wednesday for the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old Brooklyn boy.

Zidon Clarke was arrested for shooting Rohan Levy in the back of the head, according to police, and he has been charged with murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

Rohan and his friends were standing on the street when Zidon allegedly jumped out of his car and opened fire. Rohan was hit in the back of the head and rushed to Kings County Hospital. He died of his injuries three days later.

Another teenager, an 18-year-old who was a friend of Rohan’s, was hit as well. He was injured in the leg and survived.

Police believe that the shooting might have been gang-related. The teenagers in the group were not affiliated with any gangs, but one of Rohan’s friends was wearing a black jacket and red pants.

Although Zion and Rohan lived near each other, police said that they did not know each other.
