Fynn was reportedly on his way to holiday classes, accompanied by two friends on Richard Winn Road, when he was attacked just over a week ago.


It's understood that he was approached by a suspect, who opened fire, shooting him multiple times, before fleeing the scene. 


Police arrested Addison on Saturday and charged him with murder.


He made his first appearance on Monday when the case was postponed for a bail hearing today.


A day after the arrest, a group of community members, along with the teen's family, marched to the spot where he was killed. 


His parents described him as an angel, a straight-A student who would not harm a fly.
