A teenager accused of fatally shooting a 24-year-old man in New Bedford last month was arrested early this morning and will be arraigned on a murder charge.

Michael V. Feliciano, 17, was arrested in Sturbridge at about 2:15 a.m. during a traffic stop by State Police, according to the Bristol district attorney's office. A $5,000 reward had been offered for information leading to the arrest of Feliciano. Authorities did not describe the events that led to his capture.

Feliciano is accused of shooting and killing Albon Wilson, 24, around 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 30 while Wilson was standing near the intersection of Bonney and Thompson streets. It was the first gun-related homicide in New Bedford of 2007.

Feliciano will be arraigned in New Bedford District Court. More details about the case are expected to be revealed in court.
