In an updated statement on Tuesday morning, police officials said the boy was pronounced at about 3:15 a.m. after he was taken to a nearby hospital following the incident.
Pace said the boy -- who police have not yet provided further identifying information on -- had been shot as many as 11 times.
"The crime scene consists of at least 11 spent shell casings, as well as a number of projectiles that we've been able to recover from the street," said Pace.

According to Pace, parts of the incident were caught on surveillance cameras and, while police officials are still reviewing footage, video they have seen shows the victim "walking in a southwesterly direction on Sedgley when four males, three dressed in all black, one dressed with a gray sweatshirt of some sort, and dark pants behind him."
"At least one of those four, who appeared to be about the same age as the gunshot victim, fired at the victim multiple times," Pace said.
However, Pace said, police have not yet determined a motive in this shooting nor have any arrests been made.
But, an investigation, he said, is ongoing.
So far this year, children have been victims in 105 Philadelphia's 781 reported shootings -- including 14 fatal shootings -- according to data compiled by the City Controller's Office.
