Investigators reportedly believe that Martin was playing with a rifle when he pointed it towards Simon and pulled the trigger.
The two were alone in a room, but Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told the station that there were multiple people inside the home.
Simon died at the scene.
“Our condolences go out the family,” said Sheriff Gonzalez. “Anytime there is a loss of life we know it’s difficult. Especially when it’s a young person.”
Simon’s father said she was a freshman at Lamar High School and had just turned 15 on Jan. 24.
