On Tuesday, police arrested a teen, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act due to his age.
In addition to the first-degree murder charge, he has also been charged with attempted murder.
On May 21, just a week after Kinani was killed, two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, surrendered to police and were both charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
