Police announced the arrest and arraignment of a Buffalo teen in Buffalo City Court in connection with a burglary and shooting Tuesday that wounded two people, one of them fatally.
Vincent Manirakiza, 19, is charged with one count of second degree murder and a violent felony count of second degree burglary.
Manirakiza is accused of unlawfully entering a residence in the 200 block of Koons Avenue, on Buffalo's East Side, intending to commit a crime. During that crime, he is accused of shooting a 17-year-old female and 19-year-old male. Police say the shooting appears to have been targeted.
