AUSTIN (KXAN) — An 18-year-old died early Tuesday morning after he was allegedly shot by another teen, according to the Elgin Police Department.

Officers responded to the 100 block of Jefferson Cove around 3:30 a.m. in reference to someone with a gunshot wound. When officers arrived, they found Jowel Wallace dead in the residence, according to police.
