The man was arrested in Plymouth after trying to elude police, they said. His identity wasn't immediately released.
The shooting occurred on Monday. A second person who also worked for Republican Lacy Johnson was wounded in the attack. Both police and Johnson, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, said the shootings didn’t appear to have anything to do with politics or the campaign.
The teen was identified as Andre Conley. The man who was wounded was hospitalized and was expected to survive.
