Alexander Bolanos, 16, of Bridgeport, was charged with criminal conspiracy to commit murder, said Terron Jones, spokesman for the Bridgeport Police.

Howell was standing outside of his Willow Street home with two other people when he was shot during a drive-by on Tuesday, Dec. 18, police said. Police do not believe he was the intended target.

Bolanos was transferred to adult court Wednesday where Tajay Chambers, 18, was also being arraigned as the suspected gunman. Two other juveniles, ages 12 and 14, have also been charged.

Howell's funeral will be held on Jan. 11.
