A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection to a shooting that claimed the life of a 15-year-old boy in Madison.

Kenneth "Kass" Jones was found dead behind Forest Park Apartments on Forest Park Road around 8 p.m. Thursday.

Police said Davone Starks, 17, was developed as a suspect in Jones' murder Friday. He was arrested Saturday and charged with criminal homicide.

Authorities believe Jones was shot while attempting to purchase a gun.

The 15-year-old had just completed his freshman year at Hunters Lane High School.

Principal Dr. Susan Kessler referred to him as "an articulate young man with a bright smile."

A candlelight vigil will be held in Jones' memory on Sunday night at Madison Little League Park, located at 227 Forest Park Road, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
