Authorities said the Feltonville teen, identified as Tavin Rutledge Wilson, was shot in the head at point-blank range while playing with neighborhood friends in the 4800 block of D Street on Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses say the shooting was sparked from a casual snowball fight amongst children.
A friend of Tavin's, who was also involved in the playful snowball fight, said the shooting happened after a wayward snowball accidentally struck a nearby neighbor.
Police said the adult male became enraged and left the scene, returning moments later with a gun.
Witnesses say Tavin's effort to apologize to the man went unnoticed and the man pulled out a gun and began firing.
