According to a press release posted on the police department's Facebook page, officers responded at 11:30 p.m. to investigate a shooting in the 400 Block of North Price Lane. The scene is in Henry County about 100 miles southwest of the state's capital of Jefferson City.

The teenger was transported a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, police said.
