A 16-year-old boy was killed and two other teens were hospitalized early Thursday morning in a shooting at a Corona apartment.

The shooting was reported just before 1 a.m. in the 1300 block of Circle City Drive, according to the Corona Police Department. The victims, whose identities were not released, were identified as a 13-year-old boy, a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy.

Family members said the teen who was killed had just turned 16. He died at a hospital. Two of the victims are brothers, and another is a cousin, family members said.

The boys are from Corona, but it was not immediately clear whether they live at the apartments.
