Durham police said they have arrested a 17-year-old in the murder of Jose Cabrera, as well as the shooting of a teenager in early April.

On April 12 at 9:15 p.m., officers said they were flagged down on Alston Avenue and told that someone had been shot. At that time, police said they discovered two men were shot by someone passing them on a scooter who then fled the scene.
