A 16-year-old boy was arrested Thursday in connection with a Tuesday rush-hour shooting at a New York City subway station, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
The teen is one of three suspects wanted in the Feb. 13 shooting that authorities say was the result of
a dispute between rival gangs
who boarded the same train at different stations.

The first gunshots occurred as the train arrived at an elevated station in the Bronx shortly before 5:00 pm (Eastern Time) and continued on the platform as passengers fled.
Authorities later recovered 19 bullet casings, three of them inside a subway car, New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a press conference a few days ago.
A 35-year-old Mexican, identified as Obed Beltrán Sánchez, died after being shot in the chest.
