Police have identified the 12-year-old boy who was shot and killed while making a music video Saturday night.

PHILADELPHIA - Tragedy struck a Philadelphia neighborhood this weekend when a 12-year-old boy was fatally shot, and now a teenager is being charged with his death.

What we know:

Ethan Parker, 12, was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound to his chest on the 1500 block of East Pastorius Street in the middle of the day on Saturday.

He was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead just before 1 p.m.

Parker and two teens were making a music video with guns, when one went off and killed the 12-year-old boy.

Police recovered the gun and said other weapons were found in the home.

On Sunday, a 17-year-old was charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and related offenses.

What we don't know:

Police say the identity of the 17-year-old suspect is not being released at this time.

What they're saying:

Neighbors were shocked to hear about the 12-year-old's shooting death.

"In the middle of the day, shooting a video and playing with guns, it should not happen," Katisha James said. "That is very shocking. I'm at a loss for words now."

Staff Inspector Ernest Ransom called the fatal shooting a "tragedy" and urged teens to stay away from guns.

"These are not toys, they're not meant to be played with, and if you can not legally possess a gun you should not have a gun," Ransom said.
