MIAMI (AP) – A 19-year-old suspected in the shooting death of a 7-year-old boy near Miami has surrendered to police.

Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Jennifer Capote said in a news release that investigators were interviewing Dravein Duke on Tuesday morning. Jail records show he was booked Tuesday afternoon on charges of second-degree murder and attempted murder.

Duke was wanted in connection with the Sunday shooting of Amiere Castro, who was visiting with family in southwest Miami-Dade County for the holidays.

Police say four men pulled up in a vehicle and shot at the home about 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Driver Maxwel Trewin was arrested Monday and charged with second-degree murder.

On Monday, a 13-year-old boy was shot in the torso near Miami. He is expected to survive. Detectives don’t believe the cases are connected.
