Police have arrested a 16-year-old in connection with a Queens shooting Friday that left one teenager dead and another wounded.

Investigators say Kevin Miller, 13, was shot in the head outside a car wash at the corner of Linden and Springfield boulevards in Cambria Heights.

A 17-year-old boy was also shot in the leg and taken to North Shore Hospital, where his condition is described as stable.

Authorities say Nnonso Ekwegbalu was fighting with another teen when he fired the shots in front of the Campus Magnet Humanities and the Arts High School.

"I go to take a look, I get halfway and I see two kids in the street fighting and then I heard shots so I run back to my corner," said one witness.

The suspect was taken into custody Saturday night and was charged with murder.

In response to the shooting, the Black Law Enforcement Alliance and residents are planning to come together this afternoon to call for an end to violence in the neighborhood.

Police have also made an arrest in connection with a deadly stabbing on the Upper East Side.

Investigators say Exequiel Reyes, 23, stabbed Omar Gasper, 19, in the chest Saturday.

The stabbing happened outside an apartment building on East 75th Street.

Reyes is charged with murder, assault and weapons possession.

Police say there was a party in the building, and the stabbing happened after a fight broke out outside.
