Deputies were called to a home near Woodlake Parkway and Lakeview Drive on Friday morning. When they arrived, Salazar said they found the 15-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.
