New York City<\/a> Police Department (NYPD) detectives arrested Zahir Davis, 18, on Friday night following an urgent search for the person who gunned down a child at a Queens playground earlier this month, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced in a Saturday X post.<\/p>\n

Davis is charged with murder in connection with the April 16 killing of 15-year-old Jaden Pierre, Tisch wrote.<\/p>\n

Officials said Davis fled to Jamaica<\/a> after Pierre was shot, but returned to New York on Friday where he was immediately arrested by NYPD detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Pierre was shot at 6:15 p.m. on April 16 near Merrick and Baisley boulevards in Queens. The next day, the NYPD released photos of a suspect wanted in connection with the killing.<\/p>\n

Social media<\/a> video of the incident showed a male repeatedly striking a young boy with his hands before opening fire toward the child. A crowd that had formed around the pair immediately dispersed after gunshots rang out.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers, most notably former Mayor Eric Adams<\/a>, harshly criticized Mayor Zohran Mamdani for failing to immediately respond to the shooting.<\/p>\n

“A 15-year-old kid was beaten<\/a> and shot to death at a Southeast Queens playground yesterday. And somehow this isn\u2019t the top story,” Adams wrote in an April 17 post on X.<\/p>\n

“Where is everyone else, including NYC Mayor Mamdani<\/a>? Outrage shouldn\u2019t depend on zip code. Every child deserves protection,” Adams added.<\/p>\n

Mamdani held a closed-door meeting with community leaders to discuss the incident on April 20, he told reporters.<\/p>\n

He later addressed the shooting publicly during an unrelated news conference Wednesday for Earth Day.<\/p>\n

“I shared my thoughts on this the other evening, where I spoke about the fact that this was heartbreaking. It was heartbreaking, not just for what it means for his family and his friends, I know it was also heartbreaking for so many New Yorkers to watch this video and see others simply witness what unfolded as opposed to step[ping] up to address it,” Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

“That is also our responsibility as a city government. I know that I have full confidence in the NYPD’s abilities to hold<\/a> the individual responsible accountable,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Mamdani did not attend a Monday vigil organized for Pierre but said he was setting up a time to meet with Pierre’s family.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital contacted the NYPD and Mamdani’s office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
