Two teens originally told police that a black Toyota pulled up in front of them and their 16-year-old friend, and a man in the backseat opened fire.
Detectives determined the boys were playing with a .38 caliber revolver in the parking lot at about 10:40 p.m. Monday when the gun went off.
A single .38-caliber bullet hit the 16-year-old boy, identified by friends as Koamalu "Malu" Edayan-Lindo, in the chest.
Edayan-Lindo is in critical but stable condition at The Queen's Medical Center.
