WILLINGBORO, N.J. (CBS) -- A 14-year-old boy was shot in the head and killed at a gas station on Saturday in Willingboro, New Jersey, police say. The victim, later identified as Jesse Everett, was shot at the Phillips 66 gas station on 99 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

Investigators say the victim pulled up to the pumps, in a vehicle that had been reported stolen earlier, and soon after another vehicle entered the gas station. A man then exited from the passenger side of the vehicle, approached Everett and shot him in the head.

Two people were inside the car with him but they didn't sustain injuries.
