Yuba County sheriff’s detectives arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of homicide in the shooting of a 13-year-old boy killed late Thursday at an apartment complex in the small town of Linda.

The shooting was reported about 11:30 p.m. at the Shasta Glen Apartments in the 6000 block of Gossett Way, according to the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies arrived at the scene and found the 13-year-old with an apparent gunshot wound.

Medics performed lifesaving measures at the scene, but the boy died from his injuries. The Sheriff’s Office has not yet released the boy’s name.
