The 15-year-old boy shot dead at a chaotic Juneteenth concert in Washington, DC, was identified Monday — as police continued to investigate a motive for the shooting that also left three people injured.
The teen gunned down in Sunday night’s chaos was identified by cops as Chase Lorenzo Poole.
Police found a gun on Poole in the wake of the shooting, but it wasn’t the firearm used to fatally injure him, law-enforcement sources told the Washington Post.
After Poole was shot, an eyewitness told WTTG that the teen could be heard “screaming out for his mom” as he lay dying in the street.
Cops don’t yet know if Poole or someone with him was the intended target of the shooting.
Poole had been shot twice before, including as recently as February, the sources said.
The shooting broke out as police were trying to shut down the Moechella concert being held about 2 miles north of the White House.

Apparently he was a lead magnet.
When keepin’ it real goes wrong…
15? With a gun? Previously shot twice? And the third time he got shot he died?
If they find whoever shot him, maybe they should give that guy a reward for community service.
Oh my, some lives not mattering even on such a sacred day.
All cultures are equal.
The hosts of the “Moechella” “concert” need to be charged for contributing to the environment where this kid was killed. They didn’t have a permit and all the required security.
“Cops don’t yet know if Poole or someone with him was the intended target of the shooting.”
“Poole had been shot twice before, including as recently as February, the sources said.”
Don’t tell me, “aspiring rapper”.
Well, if it wasn’t a white cop who shot him, there’s nothing to see here, so I guess I’ll just move along...
I’m afraid we will need a new national holiday to memorialize the Juneteenth dead.
Either that or he gets mistaken for a silhouette target.
But I’m supposed to give up my guns?
Apparently, “chaotic” is the new go-to adjective for violent urban riots.
I think the attendees bear most of the responsibility.
Sad, at such a young age he probably hasnt shot many people.
“Poole had been shot twice before...”
!5 years old
Happy Juneteenth!
Aren’t you all glad it is a holiday now so big crowds can gather and shoot each other, beat each other, OD on drugs. I am so proud!
Sorry New York Post.
The word ‘boy’ signifies an innocence and the minute Chase Lorenzo Poole stuck that gun in his belt, he was no longer a ‘boy’.
