Just after 12:30pm on June 7, officers were called to the pool in reference to a water rescue.

Acting Commissioner Richard Worley said police located several young people who had somehow gotten into the pool when it was closed.

"This is something that could have been totally avoidable," said Mayor Brandon Scott.

Worley also says a young man made his way to the deep end of the pool and did not come back up.

Medics arrived and immediately began performing CPR before taking the teen to a hospital for treatment.

Police say Stephens died on June 29, he was 16-years-old.

This death is not a homicide investigation.

Family and friends have since created a GoFundMe page for Stephens.
