VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Virginia Beach Police Department arrested a man Wednesday that they think shot a teenager in late May.
A release from the department said Joshua Jezmeek Jones, 21, will face charges of felonious assault and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
The shooting he's accused of happened on May 25, just before 2 a.m., in the 1000 block of Riviera Drive. That's the Woodhaven area of the city.
Police said that morning, they found a 17-year-old who had been shot. EMS took the victim to a hospital, where he or she was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Investigators think Jones and the teen had been arguing, and the fight escalated to a physical level before Jones got a gun and shot the 17-year-old.
Police said the shooter and victim apparently knew each other.
Jones is being held in the Virginia Beach City Jail.
