Officers made the arrest in the homicide case, according to police spokesman Garrett Parten. Police did not release any further information Wednesday in order to, Parten wrote in an e-mail, "protect the integrity of the investigation and to address safety concerns."
Hill, a sophomore, died on Feb. 10, a day after he was found with a gunshot wound near the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Penn Avenue N.
His uncle previously said the family believes the teen, just a month shy of his 16th birthday, was walking from school when he was shot. Police said Hill was near a bus stop when the shooting happened. A 911 caller reported seeing a group of young people scatter after the shot rang out.
Hill was the starting quarterback on North's varsity football team. He was paid tribute at a North basketball game last weekend, and his death has led to renewed calls for a more forceful response to violence that has afflicted the city's North Side.
