Tucson police identified a teen who was fatally shot in midtown Wednesday afternoon.
Sephaul Booker, 15, was pronounced dead in a parking lot in the 3700 block of East Fourth Street, near North Alvernon Way, said Sgt. Kimberly Bay, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m., police responded to a 911 call reporting a shooting and when officers arrived they found the teen with obvious signs of trauma, Bay said.
Officers performed CPR on the boy until Tucson Fire Department paramedics arrived and took over treatment. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene, Bay said.
Detectives did not release any information about the shooting, including a description of a suspect. Detectives were working the case late last night, said Bay.
Investigators ask that anyone with information about the shooting call 911 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tipster hotline.
