Officers were called to the Enso apartment building on Glenwood Avenue at about 4 p.m. and found the teenager suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. According to police, the preliminary investigation indicated the victim was struck while inside the building’s parking garage, which also services several other businesses.

The victim was not able to provide the identity of a suspect or a reason for the shooting, police said. No other details were released.
