The unnamed juvenile was arrested on Tuesday, Dec. 25, after police responded to 915 North Avenue in Bridgeport or a report of shots fired, said Terron Jones, spokesman for the Bridgeport Police Department.

When police arrived on the scene, they found that three people had been shot by six bullets, Jones said.

All three victims were transported to St. Vincent's Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, He added.

The juvenile was arrested on weapons charges, but the department anticipates further charges in the near future as the investigation continues. Neither the name nor age of the juvenile charged has been released.

Although the juvenile charged with the shootings is related to the brother of one of the four arrested in the Clinton Howell shooting, police said they do not believe the incidents appear to be related.

Clinton 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. Tajay Chambers, 18, and three minors were charged on Monday, Dec. 24 in connection with the Howell murder.
