Harrisburg police officers were called to a report of a gunshot victim in the 1900 block of Boas Street around 8:30 p.m., according to a release by the department the following morning. 

When officers arrived, they found the teen suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, police explain in the release. 

This is believed to have been "an isolated, targeted incident, and not a random act," PennLive reports citing the police.

Police are actively investigating the incident. 

Anyone with information is asked to call 717-558-6900, or leave a tip online.
