A 16-year-old boy was in custody today on suspicion of murder in the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl believed to have been his girlfriend, police said.
The shooting in a Mid-City home in the 1800 block of Wellington Road was reported at 5:45 p.m. Sunday, said Los Angeles Police Officer Cleon Joseph.
The girl died at a hospital, Joseph said. Her name was withheld, pending notification of her relatives.
The boy was booked on suspicion of murder and was held without bail at Eastlake Juvenile Hall, Joseph said. His name was not released.
According to The Los Angeles Times, paramedics found the girl with a bullet wound to her back. Sources told The Times the two teens may have been playing Russian roulette with a pistol and when she got up to leave, the boy pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger, unaware there was still a round in the chamber.
