Investigators say the victim was targeted and the shooting was not random.

Less than one mile away on Bourbon Drive, a caller reported seeing a 13-year-old with a handgun. Joy McNeil was in the neighborhood at the time. She says it was obvious the boy was worried.

"He just kept pacing back and forth. So I stopped and I looked and I'm like, 'I'm going to call the cops,'" McNeil said. "Because I think this guy knows who the cops are looking for because he had his hands on his head. And he kept looking up at the helicopter to let them know, 'I'm watching you watching me.'"

After deputies found him, McNeil says the teen even led law enforcement to the gun he had discarded in a nearby trash can. He was later detained.

Hampton says the teenager was being held as a person of interest and was later found to be the suspect in the deadly shooting.
