The teen-ager was arrested over the weekend and charged with murder and use of a firearm in connection with the death of 29-year-old Ivory F. Williams.
The youth, who was not identified because of his age, became the 11th teen-ager in Roanoke to be charged with murder in the past three years.
Police have said Williams was shot at least five times in the chest, torso, leg and forehead with a small-caliber weapon.
Several passing motorists spotted him lying face-down on the sidewalk of the 2400 block of Centre Avenue, adjacent to the Lansdowne housing project, at 2:42 a.m. March 24. When police arrived, they were told that two men had been seen fleeing the area.
After several weeks of investigation, police on Friday issued petitions for the 17-year-old's arrest.
He was apprehended Saturday on the 1600 block of Rorer Avenue by vice officers who were "working drug-related matters," police said.
In other police reports Monday:
A suspected shoplifter faces charges of malicious wounding after he allegedly slashed a Roanoke police officer in the hand with a razor.
Police said B.L. Renick was working off-duty at the Hershberger Road Kroger on Saturday night when he approached the man on suspicion of taking a carton of cigarettes. Renick was cut as the man tried to escape. Paul Matthew Daley, 35, of Bradshaw Road in Roanoke County was charged with malicious wounding and petty larceny.
Two Franklin County men face charges in connection with the beating of a 15-year-old boy Friday night on Williamson Road. Police saw two men leave a car and run across the intersection of Williamson and Hershberger roads to attack the youth. Charged with assault were Craig Dallas Hodges, 19, and Bobby Wayne Witty, 20, both of Rocky Mount.
