A teenage fugitive has been arrested in New York City in connection with the stray-bullet killing of a 69-year-old grandmother who was walking with a friend in Harlem, according to a New York Post report.
The 18-year-old suspect was tracked down Thursday by a joint operation involving Homeland Security Investigations, the NYPD’s Violent Gang Task Force, and the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Authorities say the arrest follows the Aug. 27 shooting that killed Robin Wright, who was fatally struck in the face near East 110th Street and Madison Avenue as she used her walker during a lunchtime outing.

Neighbor Sonya Hampton said she held Wright in her final moments: “I turned around to see where the bullets landed and she was on the floor,” Hampton said.
Police said another suspect remains at large. The arrest came just a day after five young suspects, most of them teenagers, were charged in a separate Labor Day drive-by shooting in the Bronx.
