Deputies searched the surrounding area and found no other victims.
The 17-year-old, a San Jacinto resident, was detained for questioning and later arrested in connection with the slaying, deputies said.
The victim was also 17 years old, deputies said. His identity was not released because his family had not been notified.
A motive for the shooting was unclear.
