The two people arrested and charged in the weekend shooting death of a 15-year-old were freshmen in the same Dallas-area?high school, students told NBCDFW.com.
Friends said they believed the three were having a sleepover?when something led to the shooting of Nahum Martinez.
Martinez was killed early Saturday and his body was left lying on?a street in Wylie, a Dallas suburb.?
Friends at Wylie East High School said getting over the death of the track and cross country runner will not be easy.
"It's just so hard knowing that he's gone.? He's not coming back, ever," NBCDFW.com quoted freshman Sasha Parkinson as saying.
"We just hope it was an accident and pray to God it was an accident," said freshman Julia Lopez.
Some wondered if the death was the result of bullying.
"He was bullied.?Many people were mean to him.?I don't know why.?He was the nicest person," said Parkinson.
"Maybe not bullied to the point they'd shoot him, maybe like teasing, but not enough to kill him," said freshman Edwin Walker.
The district said?it had?never received any reports that Martinez was bullied, NBCDFW.com reported.
Monday night, runners were dedicating their track meet to Martinez. During a memorial Sunday night, nearly 200 people met at the school as some ran Martinez's run route in his honor.
