Miami, FL - A Miami-Dade high school student was arrested on Tuesday on an armed robbery charge after reportedly robbing a fellow student at gunpoint during the sale of a firearm.
The arrest report outlines that both the victim and the suspect, identified as 18-year-old Anthony Mason Cedeno-Salazar, are students at American Senior High School.

The victim complied, and Cedeno-Salazar, along with the two others, fled the scene.
The Miami-Dade Schools Police were alerted to the robbery, with the victim identifying Cedeno-Salazar as the armed assailant.
The juvenile girl in the car corroborated the victim's account.
Cedeno-Salazar is currently held without bond after his arrest.
