15-year-old arrested in ice cream truck shooting

VALLEJO, Calif. — A 15-year-old suspected of shooting an ice cream truck driver in Vallejo has been arrested.

Police say the boy was arrested around 7 p.m. Wednesday in Oakland as he was leaving a home carrying a suitcase and bag. He is being held at Alameda County Juvenile Hall in San Leandro.

Police say the teen shot 39-year-old Amarjit Kaur in the chest after demanding money on the afternoon of Feb. 3 as her truck was parked near Springstowne Middle School.

The boy’s alleged 14-year-old accomplice was taken into custody last week and police say the gun used in the shooting was recovered from his home.

Kaur remains hospitalized.
