One Texas teenager is dead and another is behind bars after a disparaging comment about someone’s dead mother led to gun violence earlier this week, police in the Lone Star State say.

On Wednesday night, two separate 911 calls were made — exactly one minute apart — about shots fired on the west side of San Antonio, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

Now, Joel Castillo, 16, is dead, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. The victim’s alleged killer is said to be his 14-year-old neighbor. The defendant’s identity has yet to be made public.

The suspect has since been charged with murder, a police department spokesperson told Law&Crime.
