A 911 call of a male shot sent New York City officers to a Brooklyn address where they found a 17-year-old boy dead of a gunshot wound to his head, police said Saturday.
It happened Friday night at a public housing project in Crown Heights.
The victim, Jahiem Guinn, died where he had lived, the NYPD said.
