An 18-year-old has been arrested for the February 15th murder of 17-year-old Weymouth High School student Nathan Paul in the Palmer Street area of Quincy, according to Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey.

District Attorney Morrissey stated that Jaivon Harris, 18, of Quincy, is expected to be arraigned in the Quincy District Court today on charges of murder, armed robbery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy.

“Quincy Police and Massachusetts State Police homicide detectives assigned to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office have had this matter under intense investigation during the almost two weeks since the shooting,” Morrissey said. “Police had obtained an arrest warrant for Mr. Harris out of the Quincy District Court. The Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section has been assisting in our efforts to locate him. It is not known if he learned of the search causing him to present himself to the Quincy District Court today.”
As of noon, Harris was at the Quincy Police Department Headquarters being processed in for the afternoon arraignment.

District Attorney Morrissey said the matter remains under investigation.
