What we know:
Authorities have arrested 17-year-old Zayki Davis who is accused of fatally shooting Zahkir Whitfield during an argument-turned-shooting aboard a SEPTA bus.
Investigators say on Mar. 22 Davis and Whitfield were among 5-6 juveniles who were involved in an altercation at the back of the Route 15 bus in West Philly.
