A suspect was charged Saturday in the fatal shooting of a teen girl who was walking home from school when she was hit by a stray bullet during a street dispute in New York City.

New York Police Department officials announced the arrest of Ryan on charges of murder, attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

The girl killed in the shooting was identified by police as 16-year-old Angellyh Yambo. A 16-year-old girl was hit in the leg and a 17-year-old boy was wounded in the buttocks. They are expected to survive.

Ryan would have a court appearance on either Saturday or Sunday. They didn't comment further.

It wasn't clear if Ryan had an attorney who could speak for him.

The shooting in the Bronx was the latest in a series of high-profile crimes in the city.

Police said the gunfire appeared to start after Ryan and another person gestured at each other. The teens were walking on the sidewalk when they were struck.

The shooting suspect, who had no criminal record, was suspected of using a so-called "ghost gun", a homemade firearm that can be built with parts bought online and lack serial numbers normally used to trace them. Six rounds were fired.

The circumstances of the case were expressed by the deputy police chief.

We have two families that are completely destroyed right now, our victim's family and the shooter's family. He said that the suspect's mother was a hard-working woman and that her child had zero police contact before his arrest.

The South Bronx Educational Campus is home to two schools, University Heights Secondary School and Mott Haven Village Prep.

The Department of Education said two of the teens went there. The third teen went to University Prep Charter High School.

Since taking office, the mayor has made fighting crime a priority. Gun violence is at levels not seen in a decade, but homicides are down slightly from this time last year.

New York City saw a decline in the number of shootings from 2012 to 2019, but that progress was erased by the social unrest of the past two years. Even after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, the city's violence still remains far below where it was in the 1990s.
