15-year-old boy charged with second-degree murder of another 16-year-old in New York: cops

A 15-year-old boy was charged with second-degree murder Thursday night in connection with last week’s fatal shooting another teenager in Harlem, authorities said.

Cops said the youth was captured around 11:30 p.m. when patrol officers identified him on a wanted poster as the suspect in the Oct. 24 slaying of 16-year-old Clarence Jones.

According to the New York Police Department, around 1:37 a.m., Jones was stabbed to death at West 124th Street and Lenox Avenue.

Paramedics took him to Harlem Hospital, where he died.

Shocking pictures from the scene show Jones’ father falling to the ground and screaming that his teenage son has been “taken” from him.

It is not known whether he witnessed the shooting or arrived later.

On Friday, NYPD did not have information on a motive for the teenager’s killing or whether the two boys knew each other.

Police are not releasing the teenager’s name because of his age, and prosecutors did not immediately say whether he will be tried as an adult or a juvenile.

“We don’t know about the target. We don’t know anything … All we know is that someone killed our nephew,” Jones’ aunt, Desiree Murray, previously told The Post.

“He was a sweet kid, man, a sweet kid … just fell in with the wrong, you know, wrong crowd, whatever, but overall he was a good kid,” she added.

A stray bullet from the shooting also pierced the side window of a nearby Lyft passenger — narrowly missing the driver, who was injured by the broken glass.

Execution marked the first of five for so many days, which took the lives of teenagers in the Big Apple, say the police.

Among the other teenagers killed in the brutal stretch was 15-year-old Tristan Sanders, who was shot in the chest at the New York City Albany Houses housing authority on St. Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, police said.

According to police, 18-year-old Joshua Sparrow was shot and killed Monday night on Reverend James Palit Avenue in the Bronx.

Thearion Mungo, 16, suffered a blast to the chest Saturday outside another NYCHA building in Fort Greene, authorities said.

And Malachi DeBerry, 15, was fatally shot in the head Friday on Lenox Road near Rockaway Parkway in Brownsville.

No arrests have been made in any of these shootings.
