He has been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner's office as 16-year-old Jonathan Parker.

"I didn't want to go to school because everyone is going to be all down, everyone at school is going to speak about it. It is not a good day for us," said Simon Tongi.

Officials say Deer Valley and Antioch had just played each other in a basketball game Friday night when a fight broke out in the parking lot. Police have not said why there was a fight.

"I was definitely scared. I actually went to the basketball game but had left just in time, like maybe 10 minutes before the shooting happened. I actually knew the guy, he was in my biology class," said Alexis Ware, who described him as funny and a good kid.

"I don't think I'll be going to a few games for a while and it is messed up because you are ruining fun for everyone else," she said.

Students created a memorial with balloons and candles in the parking lot of the school for the victim.

"When he passed away I was like, that's sad. He was only 16. He is literally my age. It was really unfortunate," said Tongi.

Police have not made any arrests.
