Police have made an arrest in the investigation of the Aug. 5 Center City Garrison Street shooting.
Julius Jose Cotijo, 17, of Allentown, was arrested when he surrendered to police at city hall around noon Aug. 10.
Police had just issued a warrant for his arrest that morning.
The night of Aug. 5, as officers lined Main Street around 11 p.m. to close Musikfest for the night, they detected an altercation nearby. They heard several gunshots and found two men with gunshot wounds in a parking lot. They detained as many as 10 people for questioning, releasing them all a day or so later.
Cortijo is charged as an adult with reckless endangerment, firearms possession infractions, criminal assault and attempted homicide, and was committed to Northampton County Prison.
