PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) --- While Pawtucket police are still on the hunt for the prime suspect in the murder of Joshua Burgo, they have made an arrest in the case.

Officers have charged Givanni Lima, 18, on a conspiracy charge in connection with the deadly July 6 shooting.

Police say the night of the murder Lima, a Tolman High School Senior, drove Darrell Johnson to a Fairlawn neighborhood where Burgo and others had gathered to watch a fight between girls.

Police said Lima was standing with Johnson when Johnson shot Burgo, 20. Officers said Lima then drove Johnson away from the scene.

Investigators have an arrest warrant out for Johnson, 19.
