BROCKTON (CBS/AP) — A Brockton man has been arrested for a local shooting death.

Prosecutors say 21-year-old Andrew Tymek was arrested Saturday night in connection to the shooting death of Anthony Baker Jr. on Friday.

A makeshift memorial has been established in Baker's honor in the area he was shot.

Baker was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Hospital after being gunned down in the drive-by shooting.

Tymek is charged with one count of murder and will appear in Brockton District Court Monday. An attorney for Tymek could not be immediately identified.
