A 14-year-old boy is dead, and another teen is detained after a shooting in northeast Bexar County, according to Sheriff Javier Salazar.
Deputies were called to a home near Woodlake Parkway and Lakeview Drive on Friday morning. When they arrived, Salazar said they found the 14-year-old wounded.
The boy was taken to the hospital, where he later died from what was determined to be a gunshot to his upper body, according to the sheriff.
Salazar said the teenage suspect, also 14 years old, was seen running into a home about a half-mile away from where the shooting happened.
Deputies were able to find the teenage suspect and detain him. They also recovered a handgun wrapped in the clothes nearby, the sheriff noted.
The motive for the shooting is unclear at this time. Salazar said, “We hope to have information soon.”
