Police arrested a 19-year-old suspect named Iloune Driver in connection with Thursday’s bloody Brighton Beach shooting that left one dead and four wounded. Authorities say they’re still on the hunt for a second suspect.

Driver has been charged with second-degree murder and assault with intent to cause serious physical injury.

Tysha Jones, a 16-year-old bystander, was shot dead Thursday after a bullet struck her under the left arm. Four others were also injured as bullets flew wildly on the Riegelmann Boardwalk near Brighton 6th Street, including a patron at Tatiana Restaurant.

According to the [New York Post](http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/brooklyn%5Fteen%5Fbusted%5Fin%5Fbrighton%5FxZKXEXGqoNOvxGn4r6vdbJ?ref=bklyner.com#ixzz1PAkBLp7Z):

> Cops said there had been a scuffle in which one youth was hit over the head with a bottle and another was struck with a beach umbrella as hundreds of teens gathered.

> As tempers cooled, one of the young men joined three friends — including Jones, of East Harlem — on a boardwalk railing. Two other pals stood nearby.

> Two thugs then strode onto the boardwalk and opened fire. Cops said it was unclear whom they were aiming at.
