A Ventura County teenager is dead after a shooting, and the circumstances surrounding what happened are unclear.
It happened just after 12:30 Tuesday afternoon, in Santa Paula.
Police were called to the 400 block of Sycamore Street by reports of a shooting. Responding officers and paramedics administered first aid, but the 16-year-old boy later died at a hospital.
Santa Paula Police are investigating the shooting as a homicide. Department officials say they're not sure anyone else was involved in the shooting. They do want to know how the teen got access to what they believe was a loaded firearm.
