HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Hartford police say they have arrested a second person in connection with a shooting that left one person dead and six others injured after a parade last month.
     
Officers arrested 17-year-old Sylvester Burrell of Bloomfield on Monday on a warrant charging him with six counts of accessory to first-degree assault, gun crimes and risk of injury to a minor.  Authorities announced the arrest on Friday.
     
Another teen, 17-year-old Michael Ledbetter of Hartford, already faces murder and other charges stemming from the shootings that followed the West Indian Day parade on Aug. 9.
     
Police say a 21-year-old man was killed, a 7-year-old boy was shot in the head and 15-month-old girl was shot in the left leg.  Four teens were also shot.
     
Burrell is being held on $2.5 million bond.
