A juvenile, 17, was identified as the 911 caller who informed dispatch that he heard gunfire 10 minutes before the phone call and that his brother was still in the house.

“He is my brother and he shot my parents,” the 911 caller said.”My father is in his room on the floor and my mom is by the front door on the floor.”
