Police said when they arrived at the scene along the 100 block of East Annapolis Street at about 3:30 p.m., they found a teen with a gunshot wound. The teen, identified as 17-year-old Da'Qwan Jones-Morris, was reported dead at the scene.

Two people were brought in for questioning, police said, but investigators are still working to determine whether it was an accidental shooting.

Police taped off a residence as they collected evidence at the scene.

A family member of Da'Qwan said he was a senior in high school and a star athlete on the Henry Sibley football team. He was about to go on college visits.

The family member said Da'Qwan was shot in his bedroom and that there were two other kids there.

Police haven't disclosed who owned the gun at the scene, saying that remains under investigation.

No arrests had been made by early Thursday morning.

"I think this underscores the need for us as a community to come together and end gun violence of any kind, whether that is securing your weapons in your home, whether that's making sure your weapons aren't stolen, or calling us if you know who is carrying guns illegally in the city, and certainly, who is shooting them," Steve Linders, spokesman with the St. Paul Police Department, said.
