Boy, 15, arrested in shooting death of 11-year-old Kyhara Tay's
 [NYPOST] A 15-year-old who allegedly bumped off an innocent 11-year-old Bronx girl in a botched moped drive-by was caught Friday hiding out in a hotel with his mom, officials said.Matthew Godwin was arrested for the broad daylight murder of Kyhara Tay, who was killed by a stray bullet Monday as the teen shooter was allegedly targeting a 13-year-old boy, who was not hit, police said Friday. Officers took Godwin into custody at 2 a.m. Friday at Hotel 95 in the Harding Park area of the Bronx, where the family had checked in the night before, officials said at a news conference Friday. "We will continue to fight for Kyhara. Also, the tragedy here is we are talking about a gunman who is too young to be a gunman," Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clarke told news hounds. "It’s incomprehensible but no longer incredible for what has been going on in The Bronx," he went on. "Kyhara was, unfortunately, the second child in the Bronx killed by gunfire, being shot by a teen." The teen was slapped with charges of murder, manslaughter, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, all as an adult. Cops said they were still looking for the moped’s driver, 18-year-old Omar Bojang.
