A 16-year-old murder suspect has been arrested within a day of his identity being released to the public.

Nicolas Al Mondesir was being sought in connection with the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy and wounding of a 16-year-old girl, Hollywood police said Tuesday.

The shooting happened about 10:30 p.m. Thursday at the Holiday Motel, located at 1804 Funston Street.
