Authorities in New York are investigating the death of a 14-year-old boy who was found dead, face-down, in a Queens driveway early Tuesday, police say.
Cops responded to a 7:15 a.m. call at a home on Beach 67th Street in the Arverne neighborhood of the Rockaways, after the woman who lives at the home found the teenager on the ground as she pulled into her driveway. Then the officers discovered a gunshot wound to his lower back.
Police did not have any immediate information on potential suspects. The teen was later identified as Shawn Frye. Frye’s foster mother had been looking for him since Monday night after he didn’t come back home.
The neighbor who found the boy, Theresa Boyton, said she did not know him and had no idea why the teen ended up in front of her home, but added that the foster mother had been canvassing the neighborhood looking for him the night before.
The investigation is ongoing.
