Police have arrested a 17-year-old New Havener for the December shooting death of 17-year-old Riverside Academy student Daily Jackson.City police spokesperson Officer Christian Bruckhart announced that arrest in a Tuesday morning press release.He wrote that the 17-year-old suspect was taken into custody and transported to the juvenile detention facility in Bridgeport on Monday. He declined to identify the suspect until his case is transferred to adult court, which is expected to take place on Wednesday.Bruckhart told the Independent that the 17-year-old suspect has been charged with murder, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a pistol, and illegal carrying of a pistol without a permit.Bruckhart also wrote in Tuesday’s press release that the police chief, the mayor, police command staff, and Jackson’s family members will gather at police headquarters at 1 p.m. Wednesday for a press conference about the arrest. Monday’s arrest comes more than a month after Jackson was shot and killed at around 6:41 p.m. on Dec. 3 while walking on Shelton Avenue near Huntington Street in Newhallville. His homicide in turn came less than two weeks after 16-year-old Uzziah Shell, a fellow Riverside Academy student and friend of Jackson’s, was shot dead near Goffe and Hudson streets in the Dixwell neighborhood on Nov. 22. At a funeral service and memorial in honor of Jackson, his loved ones remembered him as a ​“beautiful spirit,” as someone dedicated to his friends and family, as ​“an adorable kid who was bustling with energy.”Jackson’s and Shell’s homicides sent shockwaves through the community and the city’s school system, as New Haveners grappled with the violent deaths in such close proximity of two young city residents, public school classmates, and friends. Police even reported moving at least one family out of town temporarily in order to avoid potential acts of retaliation. On Dec. 10, police announced that an anonymous donor had made available a $20,000 reward for anyone who provided information that led to the arrest and conviction of whoever was responsible for Jackson’s death.
