Cops arrested the alleged gunman who pulled the trigger on two teenage boys inside of a Bronx subway station last week.

Police on Friday cuffed and charged a 17-year-old — whose identity is being withheld considering his age — with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm in connection to the April 10 attack.

At around 9:05 p.m. that evening, officers responded to a 911 call of a man shot inside the Burke Avenue station on the 2/5 line, above White Plains Road in Allerton. Upon arrival, authorities found the two teens, both 17, with gunshot wounds.

The first victim, identified by police on Monday as Bronx resident Kymani Woods, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his head, arm and shoulder. A second, still unidentified victim suffered a gunshot wound to the hip.

Paramedics rushed both young men to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi, where Woods was pronounced dead. The second victim remains in stable condition at this time, police said.
