Albany police are still investigating Saturday's shooting in which Jeremiah Daniel O'Sullivan, 16, was killed.
O'Sullivan was shot by Bruce Gosnell Jr., 32, of Albany who had heard noises in his backyard, saw a person outside an open window of his home and fired a pistol, according to police.
O'Sullivan died at the Albany hospital of a gunshot wound to the chest. No charges have been filed against Gosnell.
Just prior to the shooting, police spotted a male running from a stolen car into Gosnell's fenced backyard.
Police have said at least one other person was with O'Sullivan the morning of the shooting, however no one has been named.
Detective Sgt. Marv Hammersley said this morning that investigators have received some information from the public and are following up on leads.
Detectives are also working to identify the people who made a threat toward Gosnell on Saturday evening.
Anyone with information about the shooting or events leading up to it can call the Albany Police Department at 917-7680.
A memorial service for O'Sullivan will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Eleanor Hackleman Park in Albany.
