Others in the home told police the teen left the home with a friend immediately after the shooting, according to police.
The suspect and witness were not located again until the two had made it to northwest Arizona.
A DPS trooper reportedly attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the suspect sped off.
A high-speed chase ensued, which court paperwork says reached as fast as 130 mph.
DPS eventually used a grappler device to stop the car near Kingman, and the suspect and his friend were arrested without incident.
The two were reportedly wearing the same clothing that was observed in Ring video as they left the residence after the shooting.
The teen told police that his dad "had abused him for much of his life."
Court paperwork shows that the teen said he and his friend were trying to drive to Nevada and admitted to fleeing DPS troopers because "he was too scared to stop."
The teen is facing multiple charges including second-degree murder and minor in possession of a firearm.
