Investigators were going door-to-door after the shooting to speak with nearby residents. CBS News Detroit spoke with a couple who live across the street from where it happened. They said they didn't see what happened, but have recently seen police in the area more frequently.

"The last couple months, the police have been coming by here, and they'd be sitting out front, and then we'd see them go in the house, and talk to people and come out, but nobody's getting arrested or anything," Michael Bone, a nearby resident, said. "They'd leave. And it just keeps going on, and on and on. I told my wife, I said, 'Eventually something is going to happen with this juvenile.'"

The officer who shot the teen has been placed on administrative leave pending the results of an investigation by the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, the agency said.

This is a developing story.
