PONTIAC, Mich. (FOX 2) - The fourth suspect in the Pontiac shooting that left one person dead has been arrested, according to Oakland County officials. 

Deputies say the 16-year-old Pontiac teen turned himself into the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office in Pontiac at 6 p.m. two hours after a third suspect, a 17-year-old boy, was arrested at 4 p.m.

The first two arrests were shortly after the shooting occurred on Tuesday, with police saying their ages were 13 and 15-years-old.

The backstory:

When they arrived, they found an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the chest. The unresponsive victim was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Another victim, a 19-year-old man, had been taken to the hospital by a citizen. He underwent surgery and is expected to survive.

Three people were arrested, with a fourth being announced on Wednesday evening.
