A 16-year-old boy turned himself in, according to local news reports.

The suspect was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black pants, white sneakers and a backpack with the "JAWS" logo, police said.

Police have released images of the suspected shooter.

An update from CBS News confirms Sanjay Samuel, 13, was shot in the head Monday morning near a Dunkin' Donuts in Cambria Heights, an area where teenagers often gather before and after school. Tests on Wednesday afternoon showed no brain activity, and he was pronounced dead shortly after, with his family planning to donate his organs.

Local news reports state the victim, Sanjay Samuel, remains on life support at a hospital after being shot on Monday. Doctors said surgery to remove the bullet could make his condition worse.

@Jeaninevelez im so sorry!!!! That is so traumatic. I saw a teen get shot a few years ago and haven’t been the same since. Consider getting help for your boy too. No one should witness this type of violence. :(
