Fletcher is the third suspect to be arrested for the Sept. 27 shooting, which left Nicolas Elizalde, a 14-year-old student at Saul High School, dead and four other teens injured. Last week, Yaaseen Bivins, 21, and Zyhied Jones, 17, were charged with murder and related crimes.
Police have identified another alleged shooter as Dayron Burney-Thorne, 16, but he remains at large.
On Monday, U.S. Marshals Eastern Pennsylvania Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force said it is offering up to a $5,000 cash reward for any information that leads to Burney-Thorn’s arrest.

The U.S. Marshals, in partnership with PA Crime Stoppers, would pay this cash reward almost immediately following an arrest, a spokesperson said. It is separate from the $45,000 the city is offering for information leading to the arrests and convictions of the shooters.
Police are still working to identify two more people they believe were involved in the Sept. 27 shooting.
