A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in Baltimore in connection with last month’s mass shooting that killed a local boxer and left five others wounded.

Ernest Hall, a 33-year-old junior featherweight boxer, was leaving a crowded store in the 2800 block of Edmondson Avenue in West Baltimore on March 23 when several gunmen emerged from a vehicle and opened fire.

A 15-year-old boy, a 24-year-old man, a 21-year-old man, an 18-year-old man and a 22-year-old man were injured in the shooting, while Hall was shot fatally.

Police arrested the 15-year-old suspect on Baker Street in Baltimore on Tuesday, charging him with first-degree murder, five counts of first-degree attempted murder and an array of gun charges.

Police have not identified the suspected shooter because he is a minor.

They also have not said what prompted the shooting or identified the other gunmen.

Following the arrest, Hall’s family released a statement to CBS Baltimore, thanking police for their “hard and diligent work.”

“Due to the current suspect’s age we would also like to extend our prayers to his family as they are now experiencing a family tragedy as well,” the statement read.

“We plea to the remaining suspects to turn yourselves in; as it is not to late to change your lives. We ask that Justice be served fair and lightning quick.”

Hall, known to those close to him by the moniker “Lighting Bug,” was a father of three children. He operated Lighting Fit Gym on Morton Street, where he coached aspiring boxers from all walks of life.

“It doesn’t matter what your background is, (or) what your health is, maybe you never jumped rope before in your life. He would work with you, and he would build you up,” Victoria Stillwell, one of his students, told the station WBAL-TV.

Hall’s family member Araf Al Ndee Al Apache touted him in the description of a GoFundMe campaign as “a true King of his family, a renowned Baltimore community leader, a fierce anti-gun violence advocate, a beloved youth advocate and a loving Father.” 

This is not the first time that Hall’s family has been affected by gun violence in Baltimore.

In 2016, the boxer’s brother was found shot to death inside a burning car.

The loss inspired Hall to pursue boxing professionally in a bid to secure a better life for himself and his children, as he explained in a video he titled “Guns to Gloves.”
