OAKLAND   (AP) — Police in Oakland have arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of shooting and killing a 17-year-old girl in the parking lot of a train station.

Bay Area Rapid Transit says the boy was identified through witness statements and arrested at his home Friday morning. His name has not been released.

The transit agency says the suspect and victim knew each other and were involved in a dispute that began on the streets and ended at the parking lot of the West Oakland station Thursday night.

The suspect fled after the shooting and the station was closed for about 30 minutes while the teenage girl was treated by paramedics. She later died at the hospital.
