(KRON) -- An arrest has been made days after 15-year-old Derbing Alvarado was gunned down while walking with friends in Oakland on Monday afternoon, the Oakland Police Department announced Friday.
Authorities confirmed that a 16-year-old was taken into custody in connection to the killing on Thursday. The teen’s identity was not released.
Alvarado was shot around 4:15 p.m. on the 1400 block of 100th Avenue while on his way to soccer practice with two of his friends, according to Oakland City Councilmember Ken Houston. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The boy was set to turn 16 next month.
Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School, a college prep school that Alvarado attended as a student, said Tuesday, “This loss has shocked and harmed the entire community.”
The case is being presented to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office for charging, Oakland PD said.
A GoFundMe set up in support of Alvarado's family has raised nearly $80,000 as of Friday morning.
