SAN ANTONIO - A 15-year-old boy was shot dead Monday night outside of a Northeast Side Whataburger following a dispute that erupted at a funeral.

Bexar County deputies found Noel Reyna dead from gunshot wounds at about 9:30 p.m. in the 7700 block of FM 78, Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Marin Mata said.

The Bexar County Medical Examiner's office identified him Tuesday evening. His death was ruled a homicide.

Witnesses told investigators that the confrontation started with an argument at a funeral for the Reyna’s friend.

An unknown suspect sitting in a vehicle then pulled out a rifle and fired at the boy, witnesses told deputies.

“We do know he was shot multiple times,” Mata said.

EMS pronounced the boy dead at the scene.

No one else was found injured from the incident, deputies said.

"Both parties know each other ..." Mata said. "But we don't know if (the fight) was one against five or five against one."
