Deleon Alonso Smith, 19, was reportedly posing for selfies with a loaded gun when it went off, fatally wounding him in his throat, KPRC reports.
 "It's the worst feeling in my life," the teen's uncle, Eric Douglas said.
"It's a numb feeling. It's still unbelievable. Yesterday was my birthday and he came to wish me happy birthday, and now this kind of news," said Smith's grandmother Alma Douglas.
Smith's cousin, who was in another room of the apartment when the shooting happened, told police that they found the gun earlier that day. Investigators are now looking into exactly where.
