The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has been charged with first degree murder, assault with a weapon and unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle.
RPS said the initial investigation began around 2:20 a.m. on June 29 when officers were called to an alley on the 1200 block of Rae St.
When police arrived they found the body of a 14-year-old boy and an injured 32-year-old woman, who was taken to hospital by EMS.
A 15-year-old boy was also charged in connection to the same incident last week.
