A 15-year-old migrant has been arrested after allegedly shooting a tourist and firing at a police officer in Times Square. Venezuelan teen Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa was tracked down by the US Marshals Joint Regional Fugitive Task Force and the NYPD after the robbery-gone-wrong on Thursday, February 8. Jesus was arrested on Friday, in less than 24 hours.
“He was crying. When he was apprehended, he was crying… Here he is committing these adult acts, that’s something you don’t expect a child to do, and then when he’s apprehended, he’s brought out in handcuffs crying,” NYPD spokesman Carlos Nieves told reporters.
Jesus will possibly be charged as a juvenile with attempted murder of a police officer, Nieves said. The case will either go to criminal or family court.
