A teenager has been charged with the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old last Saturday. 

Less than a week after Matthew Shlonsky was fatally shot while walking in the Shaw neighborhood, police charged 19-year-old Marcus King with his murder. King was charged Friday with second-degree murder while armed.

Police are still searching for other suspects.
