A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed early Sunday afternoon on West Jefferson Street, and a 16-year-old acquaintance has been charged with his murder, Louisville police said.



Brad L. Corcoran died of gunshot wounds about 1:40 p.m. at University Hospital, said R.D. Jones, a Jefferson County deputy coroner.



The family of a 16-year-old boy charged with shooting and killing his 17-year-old cousin Sunday afternoon said it was accidental, the result of the two teens playing with guns, according to the family’s spokesman.



At a press conference Monday morning, community activist Christopher 2X said the mothers of the two teens told him the boys were playing with handguns at an acquaintance’s home when Blaine Williams accidentally shot his older cousin, Brad Corcoran.



Corcoran died of gunshot wounds about 1:40 p.m. at University Hospital. He was shot in the chest, 2X said.



“They loved each other very much,” 2X said of the teens.



Williams has been charged with murder and will be in juvenile court at 1:30 Monday, 2X said.



The shooting took place at 2621 W. Jefferson St. Neither teen lived there, said police.



Corcoran became the fifth homicide victim 18 or younger in Louisville since mid-October.



So far this year, 17 of the more than 50 homicide victims in Jefferson County have been 21 or younger.



2X said the mothers of Corcoran and Williams — Monique Spalding and Kim Williams, who are sisters — would talk publicly Tuesday about the shooting.



“They just want mothers and children to understand that the excitement of a handgun is a fake reality, and they are paying the price for it,” 2X said.



2X said the mothers told him they don’t know where the teens got the guns.



Corcoran and Williams had both been expelled from high school but were trying to get reinstated. Corcoran had attended Shawnee while Williams went to Breckinridge Metropolitan School, a public alternative high school for troubled teenagers.



“Both young men were struggling to get their lives back on track,” said 2X.



2X said a remembrance ceremony will be held at the site of the shooting at 3:30 Sunday.
