 [NYPOST] A 15-year-old boy was charged with murder in the stray-bullet killing of a Florida grandmother who served in Operation Desert Storm, police said.
The teenager, whose name was not released because he is a minor, was arrested Friday, four months after the tragic shooting death of former US Army Sgt. Angela Sutton Washington, the Orlando Police Department said in a statement.
The 61-year-old veteran was hit by a stray bullet on February 7 while shopping at the North Lane Plaza strip mall in Orlando, cops said.
"Through the relentless efforts of our Homicide Detectives along with cooperation from the community and Central Florida Crimeline a suspect has been captured," police said of the four-month-long investigation.
Video showed a group of teens and young men arguing at the mall, with one of them pulling out a gun and firing the shot that hit Washington, cops said.
