Three suspects have been arrested and a fourth is being sought in connection with the shooting of a teen in Kenner Tuesday night.
The shooting happened in the 2400 block of West Metairie Avenue around 4:53 p.m.
When police arrived, they found a 14-year-old who had been shot in the leg. The teen was taken to an area hospital and was later released.
Police identified and arrested three teens in connection with the shooting.
Those arrested were Tory Nelson, 17, of Metairie, Jason King, 21, of Kenner, and Rayfield Lee, 17, of Kenner.
Police say the 14-year-old identified Nelson as the shooter and King and Lee as accomplices.
