Cops have a suspect in custody in the shooting death of 17-year-old Raelynn Cameron, who was gunned down at a Brooklyn house party earlier this month, police said Wednesday.
The suspect, who has not been publicly identified by cops, was being held at the 75th Precinct stationhouse in Brooklyn, police said. He has not yet been charged.
Cameron, who lived in Far Rockaway, was found shortly before 11 p.m. on Oct. 11 in the lobby of a vacant East New York building where a group of people had been hanging out, police said.
The teen’s mom later told The Post she believed her daughter was killed by a spurned love interest.
Cameron’s 25-year-old brother told police at the time that he had received an SOS message from his sister’s cell phone and rushed to the scene unaware of her unfortunate fate, police sources said previously.

Police officers arriving at the scene found blood on a living room couch in a sixth-floor apartment at the Eldert Lane building, the sources said.
A 9 mm shell was recovered from the kitchen in the apartment.
Cops said a trail of blood led from the apartment into the sixth-floor hallway and into the elevator, with security footage showing two men carrying Cameron down to the lobby.
The wounded girl was rushed to Brookdale Univesity Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, according to police.
Police initially believed the shooting was accidental, but later ruled it a homicide.
