Albertie was injured in the shooting, which occurred Friday at the Casa Grande Apartments on San Juan Avenue, police said. Albertie was found nearby on Lexington Avenue and taken to a hospital before he was arrested.
According to the police report, Albertie, Jones, an unnamed juvenile who stayed in the car and a fourth man, who was shot and killed, went to the Casa Grande Apartments to buy marijuana.
Jones told police, the report said, that the fourth man saw all the marijuana in the room and attempted to rob the dealer, leading to the gunfire. Investigators said the dealer was also shot and killed.
Albertie, police said, has been uncooperative in the investigation. At least one gun was recovered from the scene, according to the report, and a ballistics analysis is underway.
