Police said multiple shootings took place Saturday that resulted in the death of one 16-year-old boy.

BUCKEYE, Ariz. — A 16-year-old boy is dead after multiple shootings took place in Buckeye Saturday. 

The Buckeye Police Department said the boy was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds at a gas station just 20 minutes after another shooting was reported.

Just before 2 a.m., officers responded to a large gathering near 1400 North Jackrabbit Trail when multiple people began shooting. Police said everyone fled when officers arrived and no injuries were reported at that location. 

About 20 minutes later, police said another call came in about a shooting at the QuikTrip gas station at 900 South Watson. Officers found the teen boy dead on the ground at the scene.

The suspect is described as a man wearing a red shirt, a black jacket and black pants. He was seen leaving the area in a blue 2010 to 2012 Ford Mustang with a white stripe on the side.
