OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have arrested two teens — one of them only 13 — in the shooting death of an older teen in a north Omaha home earlier this week, police said Friday in consecutive news releases.

Officers arrested a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy, each on suspicion of first-degree murder, use of a gun to commit a felony and criminal conspiracy, police said. Police did not name the teens, and The Associated Press typically does not name juveniles charged with crimes.

The teens are suspected in the Tuesday morning shooting death of 19-year-old Alon Reed. Officers who responded to a report of a shooting found Reed inside a home around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday with a gunshot wound, police said. Reed was pronounced dead at the scene.
