The NYPD had no information Friday on the motive for the teen's murder, or whether the two boys knew each other.
Jones' aunt, Desiree Murray, described the victim as 'a sweet kid, man, sweet kid... just caught up in the wrong, you know, the wrong crowd... overall, he was a good kid.'
The shooting marked the first of five in as many days that took the lives of teens across the Big Apple, showing a concerning trend of youth violence.
A stray bullet from the shooting also pierced the passenger side window of a Lyft nearby, narrowly missing the driver, who was injured by broken glass.
