BOSTON (AP) - A 25-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting in Boston earlier this month.

Commissioner William Evans said in a statement that information called into the department’s anonymous tip line helped lead detectives to the suspect.

McKinney was scheduled to be arraigned Monday. It could not be determined if he had a lawyer.
