Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says a teenager who was shot at a birthday party in Macon has died.

The Telegraph reports that Jones says 16-year-old Arquentris Fountain died Monday evening at The Medical Center of Central Georgia of a gunshot wound he received Saturday night, when he and two other teenagers were shot in the parking lot of a shopping center. Jones says he will perform an autopsy.

Officials say the other two teenagers received non-life-threatening wounds.

Macon Mayor Robert Reichert plans to hold a news conference Tuesday to address the recent spate of shootings in Macon.
