A 17-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday and charged with murder for allegedly gunning down a fellow Bronx teen over a social media spat between their girlfriends, police said.
Tyrell Williams was arrested at his Wakefield home around 12:15 p.m., five days after he allegedly pulled the trigger on Laquai Dash, 17, striking him three times, according to the NYPD.
Williams was also charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.

The teenager is accused of firing at Dash a block from Legacy College High School, the South Bronx school Dash attended.
Disturbing video obtained by The Post shows Williams allegedly taking aim at the high school senior as he fled across Cauldwell Avenue in Melrose — before firing off three bullets, which struck Dash in the neck and back.
