PAHOKEE, FLA. -- Authorities say they've arrested the teen who fatally shot Pahokee football player Norman Griffith Jr.

An 18-year-old linebacker and tight end, Griffith was shot in the head as he drove away from a post-game dance in Belle Glade early Saturday. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says that the fatal shot was fired by 16-year-old Willie Felton. Felton was arrested Friday and charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.

Authorities say 17-year-old Carl Lee Booth Jr. was arrested Thursday for participating in the shooting. Even though none of his shots hit Griffith, Booth has been charged with first-degree murder.

The sheriff's office said both teens remain in jail.
