Tuesday, police released surveillance video from the shooting. The suspect was dressed in a black hoodie and black Adidas gym pants. The video also shows several witnesses kicking bullet shell casings into a sewer grate on the sidewalk.

"This is broad daylight, on a corner. It is unacceptable. It's not going to be tolerated and we'll bring that person to justice," said Waterbury Police Chief Vernon Riddick. "We know that someone in the community knows who this is and we're very confident that very shortly we'll be able to identify the shooter."

On Wednesday around 6 p.m. police arrested a male juvenile.

Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the other witnesses. If you have any information, please call Waterbury Police at 203-574-6941 or Crimestoppers at 203-755-1234.
