GILBERT, AZ — A teenager is dead after he was shot at a house party in Gilbert early Sunday morning.

Gilbert police say it happened just after midnight near Gilbert and Baseline roads.

When officers arrived, they found an 18-year-old man had been shot in the chest and upper torso.

He was taken to the hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Police believe the shooting took place after an altercation at a house party.

No one else was hurt.

On Monday night, police arrested a juvenile in connection to the shooting. Due to the suspect's age, their identity hasn't been released.

Police say they don't believe the shooting is connected to a deadly stabbing that took place about an hour later near Gilbert and Elliot roads.

The case remains under investigation.
