The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is trying to figure out if the death of a 15-year-old was an accident or on purpose.

Police were called to a shooting around 11 p.m. Sunday at 4403 Melvin Cir E on the Westside.

The teen’s mother told police she ran into the backyard after hearing a gunshot and saw her son on the ground.  At first she thought he was joking, but after realizing he was injured, she brought him inside and called 911.

JSO has not released the boy’s name or any suspect information.
