HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An investigation is underway after deputies say a 17-year-old boy was killed Sunday during a robbery in northwest Harris County.

The video above is from a preliminary report.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said 17-year-old Adolphus McKenzie was shot during a robbery outside his apartment complex on TC Jester around 9:30 p.m.
