Terry Cherry, of the City of Poughkeepsie, was arrested and charged Friday for the Nov. 6, shooting of Jacquain Johnson, a 20-year-old man formerly from the Bronx, said City of Poughkeepsie Police Det. Lt. Matt Clark.

An autopsy conducted by the Dutchess County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Johnson died as a result of a single gunshot wound, Clark said.
Cherry was arrested Wednesday for a parole violation and has been held at the Dutchess County Jail.
