The teen told officers that he was shot while walking to his vehicle at his friend’s house and reported seeing a black sedan at the scene.

SAPD says the teen said his mother and friend had taken him to the hospital. However, his mother told officers she had not seen her son since Thursday.

Officials say the teen was not truthful during the investigation.

Additionally, investigators could not locate a crime scene.

Police say the teen has since been transported to another hospital for treatment.
