A shooting in Oxnard claimed the life of a 16-year-old boy, police said Sunday.

The incident was reported at about 10:45 p.m. Saturday, with the victim found in the rear yard of a home in the 1700 block of Elsinore Circle. The site is on a cul-de-sac off Elsinore Avenue amid mostly single-family homes in the Marina West neighborhood, north of Hemlock Street and east of Patterson Road.

Witnesses said the shooting may have occurred in front of the house, Oxnard Police Department Cmdr. Luis McArthur said Sunday. The teen reportedly ran into the backyard, where he collapsed, McArthur said.

At about 11 p.m., the victim was taken by ambulance to Ventura County Medical Center, where he died, officials said.

As of Sunday afternoon, no arrests had been made, McArthur said. Homicide detectives were actively investigating leads. It was at least the 10th homicide in Oxnard this year.

On Sunday, the neighborhood appeared quiet, with no obvious signs of the prior night's crime evident. A small amount of what appeared to be blood was visible on concrete steps outside the house where the incident was reported.
