A 16-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a shooting in Dallas that left a teenage boy dead, and another adolescent boy hurt early Friday morning.

The Dallas Police Department said officers received a call around 4:40 a.m. Friday, Dec. 29, about a shooting in the 3100 block of Harry Hines Boulevard.

Police said when they arrived at the scene, they found 14-year-old Ah-bralen Rider and another 14-year-old boy suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both victims were rushed to a Parkland Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, Rider died at the hospital from his injuries. The other victim is expected to survive.
