(WGTD)---An arrest has been made in the Wednesday shooting of a 16-year-old boy near the Delta Hotel.
19-year-old Tyrese Love of Racine purportedly fled the scene on a bicycle and was arrested Friday in Chicago.
The victim--a student at nearby Case High School--is still recovering from his wound and is in stable condition, according to a news release from Mt. Pleasant Police.
The department in its news release initially indicated the shooting was believed to be gang-related. Later in the day, the department issued an update indicating that while the suspect was affiliated with gang activity, the victim had no known gang ties. No information was offered as to the possible motive.
The mid-day incident prompted a lock-down of nearby Case High School.
The apprehension of Love--who's currently on probation--was made possible with help from the FBI's Gang Task Force and the U.S. Marshals Service, according to the release.
