Paramedics reached the mortally wounded teenager at the E. 164th St. home just after 1:30 a.m. and took him to Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, but Acevedo died an hour later, police said.
A tipster told investigators that Acevedo had been drinking with friends when one man decided to show off his gun, a police source said.
The man fumbled with the weapon and inadvertently let loose a round that felled Acevedo.
