A 13-year-old girl was taken into custody over the weekend after fatally shooting a 16-year-old boy in Pomona, police said.
On Sunday around 5:22 p.m., officers from the Pomona Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in the 1300 block of East Pasadena Avenue, where they found the boy suffering from a gunshot wound, police said.

Neither the victim’s identity nor the suspect’s was revealed.
