A New Orleans teenager suspected of a fatal shooting in Algiers is in custody in Oklahoma.
New Orleans police say 17-year-old Ronald Smith Jr. was wanted for a murder on Texas Drive near the Behrman Highway nearly a month ago.
The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office says 17-year-old Jyran Johnson died of a gunshot wound.
U.S. Marshals arrested Smith on October 27th in Oklahoma City, where he was possibly staying with a relative.
Smith will be extradited to New Orleans to stand trial for second-degree murder.
