Sgt. Joe Santoy of the KPD released information indicating that 18-year-old Jacob Young Jr. and a 15-year-old juvenile are in custody for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Ricardo Rivera on April 28th.
On that day, around 5:15 PM, Police responded to the 2100 block of North Rhode Island Court for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they spotted multiple males running from the location. Despite a perimeter being set up, they were not able to capture any suspects.
The location is just a few hundred feet north of Gage Boulevard, just east of Steptoe near the Columbia Center Estates Park.
