Suspect arrested in fatal shooting of Mass. teen

Christian Walker of Orange, Massachusetts was killed in Keene, New Hampshire last week. A juvenile suspect has since been charged.

Last week, a 17-year-old from Massachusetts was shot and killed in Keene, New Hampshire. Authorities said Monday that they have identified and arrested a suspect.

Christian Walker of Orange was found in a parking lot on Winchester Street in Keene early Wednesday morning with a gunshot wound to his abdomen, according to the New Hampshire attorney general’s office.

A juvenile was arrested and charged with second-degree murder this week, the attorney general’s office said in a release Monday. Since the suspect is a juvenile, their identity is not being released to the public.

No other information was released about the incident.
