BILLINGS - A 14-year-old boy was arrested Thursday in connection with the shooting death of another teen in Billings this week, according to police.

The teen was booked into Youth Services on suspicion of negligent homicide, according to a news release from Billings police Sgt. Jeff Stovall.

It was not immediately clear if he has been formally charged by prosecutors or when he will appear in court.

The victim, identified by authorities as 14-year-old Monico Osgood, died after being shot in the chest at a residence on the 800 block of Howard Avenue.

Police initially said they were investigating whether the shooting was unintentional, but Stovall confirmed in the news release that the investigation had shifted to a suspected homicide.
