When officers arrived, paramedics with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department were already at the scene. They found Feliz lying in a roadway, with a lit cigarette next to his body. He was critically wounded.
SDPD Lt. Martha Sainz said the teen had suffered at least one gunshot wound.
Medics gave him CPR and he was taken to a hospital. However, by 11 p.m., officials confirmed Feliz had died.
