Jamal Rogers was jailed on $1,500 bond, according to Captain Andy Jackson of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department.
Rogers, 17, of Vance Street, was wanted for discharging a weapon into occupied property and an outstanding warrant for assault by pointing a gun, which was filed by the Franklin Street victims days before the house was shot into.
Rogers is acquainted with one of the sons who lives in the Franklin Street.
The investigation into why the shots were fired in the house continues.
The force of the blast in the March 10 shooting caused sheetrock to fall from the ceiling.
Julie Boyten said last week she woke to shards of sheetrock falling on her face, a bullet missing her by inches.
Bullet holes were found at the back of the house and one in the bedroom.
The house was shot at the side and back, the kitchen window shattered and repeated bullet holes at the rear of the house where the sheetrock woke Boyten upstairs.
Jackson said detectives found four bullet fragments.
The evidence suggests at least two people shot at the house, one with a shotgun and the other with a handgun, Jackson said.
