According to SAPD’s initial investigation, the victim visited with a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy at the Dartmoor Street home.

When officers and emergency personnel arrived, the shooting victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

In its report, SAPD described the 15-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy as suspects, but the department said no charges have been filed at this time.
