Police have arrested the last person they believe to be involved in a murder of a man in New Kensington.

16-year-old Da’Monte Brooks was arrested at a home in Dunbar Township in Fayette County, the Westmoreland County district attorney’s office said.

The investigation began after Jason Raiford was shot and killed at an apartment complex in New Kensington in July.
