Court records show the 15-year-old boy, who was charged as an adult, pleaded guilty on Friday to first-degree reckless homicide and second-degree reckless injury. A felony gun charge was dismissed as part of a plea deal.
A judge ordered the media after charges were filed not to identify the 15-year-old boy, who was 14 years old at the time.

According to court documents, the shooter told investigators he was "playing with" a gun when it went off and killed 14-year-old Sebastian Florentino. Florentino's 13-year-old brother, who was also shot, told investigators he played dead until the shooter ran away.
Prosecutors said the group of teens was "making videos while displaying their weapons" in a vacant garage near 52nd and Clarke when it happened.
