(NECN: Greg Wayland, Waltham, Mass.) - A 17-year-old was fatally shot at an apartment complex in Waltham, Mass.
Tyler Zanco, captain of the Waltham High School wrestling team, was fatally shot.
"He was always trying to joke around and have fun. Just make other people happy," said classmate, David Boban.
According to police, Zanco was shot in a parking lot at the Gardencrest apartments on Thursday night.
Police have not located the shooter. The suspect's motive is unknown.
"I didn't even believe it at first," said Boban.
The apartment complex is a tight-knit, crime-watch community that hundreds call home.
Back in November, a 20-year-old woman was arrested for shooting and wounding a 20-year-old man.
