A Rochester 17-year-old is dead and a 16-year-old remains in stable condition at Strong Memorial Hospital after shooting early Sunday morning in the city.

Police say they were called about 2:00 a.m. to a park behind the Thomas Ryan R-Center on Webster Avenue where they found both teenagers. The older boy was pronounced dead at the scene of multiple gunshot wounds. The younger teen was shot in the face.

Police say the teens were hanging out with half-a-dozen of their friends in the park after hours when another person approached and began shooting at them. The motive is not known at this time, and no arrest has been made yet.
