An investigation is under way after a 17-year-old died early Sunday morning following a confrontation with Homewood police, officers said.

Homewood Sgt. Andrew Didcoct said officers responded to a burglary call at 1 a.m. and saw youths breaking into a car and went to stop them. One of the youths resisted, Didcoct said.

An officer used a Taser on one of the youths, a male, who later died, Didcoct said.

No other information was available. The Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the coroner's office are trying to determine the cause of death, Didcoct said.
