Law enforcement sources told CBS New York on Friday afternoon that Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, 15, who is from Venezuela and arrived in New York City less than six months ago, was taken into custody in Yonkers. More details are expected to come at a news conference at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Chief of Patrol John Chell told reporters on Friday ahead of Rivas-Figueroa’s arrest that the teenager arrived in the city in September and was staying in a migrant shelter at the Stratford Hotel on West 70th Street. The teenager is also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx that occurred on Jan. 27 and another incident where shots were fired in Midtown, the chief said.
