Investigators believe that Washington shot Cairo on Friday morning in unincorporated Clearwater. The shooting took place just blocks north of the Largo Sports Complex.
A woman called dispatchers around 4:11 a.m. after hearing gunshots and finding Cairo lying at the end of a driveway.
Deputies responded to 1788 Suffolk Drive and discovered a pile of glass, possibly from a vehicle's window, where the road meets the driveway.
Paramedics transported Cairo to a local hospital where he died later that day.
Investigators say Washington was booked into the Orange County Jail by detectives and will be brought back to Pinellas County Jail to face charges.
Washington has been charged with second-degree homicide for the death of Cairo.
The motive behind the shooting has not been released.
The investigation continues.
