The younger boy has been identified as 13-year-old Richard Ornsri-Walker of Stockton, according to the San Joaquin County Medical Examiner's office.
Around 2 a.m. Friday, officers received a tip about a potential shooting near 800 Flint Avenue, police stated. The officers said they found a 13-year-old boy with gunshot wounds inside a residence at Conway Homes.
The 13-year-old later died at the hospital, police said. His brother was found "in the area" where the shooting occurred, Stockton police spokesman Omer Edhah said.
Officers arrested the 16-year-old around 11 a.m. Friday. He's accused of manslaughter and negligent discharge of a firearm, Stockton police spokesman Omer Edhah said during an interview at police headquarters.
"Detectives are still working on it … but at this point, it's being considered a negligent discharge," he said.
Detectives believe the 16-year-old found the gun inside the home where the shooting occurred, Edhah said. Police shared no further details on where he found it or whether it was securely stored.
