An arrest has been made in the Halloween night wounding of a 15-year-old girl on Genesee Street.

Rochester police say a 16-year-old suspect fired a long gun into a crowd of people on the street, striking the 15-year-old in the upper body. She suffered life-altering injuries from which she is still recovering.

The 16-year-old suspect was arrested earlier this week and charged with assault in the first degree. He’s being held in the Monroe County Children’s Detention Center.
