JERSEY CITY -- A 16-year-old has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Dickinson High School student last week, the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office announced this evening.

Rondell J. Rush, 17, was fatally shot in the head shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday. He died at Jersey City Medical Center-Barnabas Health the following day.

Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said the Jersey City teen was arrested yesterday at a relative's home. The teen -- whose name was not released due to his age -- was charged with a delinquent act, but Suarez said she is working to have the teen tried as an adult for murder.
