Prosecutors are reviewing the shooting death of a 13-year old boy who was killed Saturday at a home in southeast Houston, police said.

HPD spokesman Victor Senties said the investigation of the shooting in the 2100 block of Linden Creek Lane has been forwarded to prosecutors in the juvenile division of the Harris County District Attorney's Office for review. No charges have been filed.

Area media, including KTRK-TV and KPRC, are reporting that five juveniles were in an efficiency apartment attached to the home and had a gun that accidentally fired, striking the 13-year-old boy in the head. Police said one of the juveniles is related to the owner of the home.

The teen was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Senties said.

This is at least the sixth child to be killed by gunfire in the area in the last three weeks.
