Police have arrested one of two suspects in connection with the killing of a 19-year-old Virginia Commonwealth University student yesterday morning in a city park.

Seventeen-year-old Howard Reed Scott III of Richmond was charged with murder and two counts each of robbery and use of a firearm in a felony. Police say they're still looking for a black male between the age of 13 and 15 who possibly goes by the nickname "Pete."

Authorities say they responded to reports of a shooting at 1:00 in the morning and found Tyler Binsted of Mount Jackson shot.

Police say Binsted and a female friend were walking in Byrd Park and were robbed of their car keys by two male teenagers. Binsted was shot in the back as he and his friend walked away.

The suspects fled in Binsted's navy blue Honda Accord.

Binsted was a sophomore sculpture major at VCU.
