A Texas teenager was shot and killed days after he intervened to stop another boy from being bullied, police said.
Samuel Reynolds, 16, died at a hospital Thursday after being shot at an apartment complex in Arlington, Texas. Police said the suspected shooter, who has not been named because he's a minor, was taken into custody the same day.
The suspect is a 15-year-old boy and is not a student at Arlington High School, which Reynolds attended, Arlington Police Lt. Chris Cook said in a statement to BuzzFeed News.
The suspect used a .40 caliber gun – which has not yet been recovered – to shoot Reynolds at the Pinewood Apartments, Cook said. The incident was caught on security camera.
According to Cook, Reynolds had broken up a fight between the 15-year-old boy and another teenager a few days prior to his death. Reynolds' family believes that incident was the reason he was targeted by the suspect, Cook said, adding that police have not yet vetted that information themselves.
