A teenage boy was arrested Friday afternoon after a 17-year-old girl was shot to death the previous night in the West Oakland BART Station parking lot, authorities said.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. in the parking lot on the Seventh Street side of the station, according to BART police. An incident occurred on Oakland streets and carried over to the shooting in the station parking lot.

The suspect, a 16-year-old boy, had fled and avoided capture until shortly before 1 p.m. Friday, when Oakland police arrested him outside his home. The victim, who was not identified, was taken to Highland Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

BART Police Chief Carlos Rojas said the shooting was captured on surveillance camera, and the boy was identified through witness descriptions. The suspect and the victim apparently knew each other.

No BART passengers were involved in the shooting, police said.

West Oakland Station was closed for about 35 minutes Thursday night while emergency responders treated the girl.
