GREENFIELD — Detectives from the Greenfield Police Department have arrested a second shooting suspect in connection with a 2021 attempted murder.
The 16-year-old suspect was taken into custody Wednesday for his involvement in the Feb. 11, 2021, shooting that injured an 18-year-old on the 200 block of 13th Street.
The other shooting suspect, 19-year-old Jonathan Rojas, was arrested in January for the attempted murder as well as for two murders in 2020.
