A teenage boy was shot and killed near an apartment complex Monday afternoon in a north Houston neighborhood.

The incident was reported at a complex located in the 10100 block of Bammel at 3:20 p.m. by Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

CPR was administered at the scene, but the victim, between the age 15-17, was pronounced dead when first responders arrived.

Our Sky 2 Chopper was over the scene. The victim appeared to be covered by a tarp near a dark-colored sedan parked at the complex.

After talking to witnesses, deputies detained a 15-year-old who was in an apartment.

The shooting may be tied to a possible drug transaction, according to HCSO Sgt. Brown.
