SPRINGFIELD
, Mo.
-- Police are investigating the shooting death of a 14-year-old in northeast Springfield Thursday afternoon.

Officers were called to 1421 E. Livingston around 1:15 p.m. That's just south of I-44 between National and Glenstone Avenues.

A man in his 60s was handcuffed and taken away from the scene shortly after KOLR/KOZL crews arrived at the scene.

A family friend says the victim is Trevor Reynolds, 14, who lived at the home with his mother and stepfather. The family friend says her son was best friends with Trevor, and Trevor had been fighting lately with his stepfather.

"His mom Felicia had called in and said, 'Trevor was shot and wasn't moving.' And then she called back and we were on the way over here and said Trevor was dead," said Melissa Earnhart.

Police confirm the death and are considering it suspicious, and have not filed charges against the man who's in custody.

"We can confirm that of the individuals here, several knew each other," said Cpl. Matt Brown. "We don't believe it to be a stranger incident. We're trying to find out who those people are and see if there was a stranger in the bunch."

There were several people inside the home; they're now being questioned by police.

Officers say they were familiar with the household and had been called there twice in the last 24 hours.
