Investigators say Jahlen Williams was crossing Rock Quarry Road with an adult when he was struck by a vehicle.
Jahlen was a short distance from the Cross Link Road intersection but was not in a marked crosswalk.
Police released a 911 call following the incident, and an unidentified woman told a dispatcher that people were trying to help Jahlen.
"We've got probably eight people calling from this same wreck," she said. "We're trying to do CPR on him, but I don't think it's going to work."
No other information about the incident has been released. No charges have been filed.
