OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a 16-year-old boy wanted in the shooting death last week of another teen at a city park has turned himself in.

Police said the 16-year-old turned himself in on Thursday and was booked into the Douglas County Youth Center on felony warrants charging him with first-degree murder and use of a weapon.

The AP generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes.

The teen is suspected of shooting 18-year-old Travell Mountain shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday in Levi Carter Park.

Mountain later died at a hospital.
