The teenager was fatally shot outside The Robin Hood Pub in Barton Road, Stretford, Manchester, shortly before midnight.
The victim was named locally as Guiseppe Gregory from Ardwick, in inner city Manchester.
Police who were called to the scene were alerted to the fact that a boy with gunshot wounds had been driven to Trafford General Hospital. The boy died shortly after arriving at hospital.
He was known to police and was known to hang around with gang members. He had survived being shot at when he was just 13, sources said.
Three men, aged 18, 20 and 22, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain in police custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Howard Millington said: "Police inquiries are at a very early stage but we are urging anyone with any information to come forward."
Anyone with any information on the shooting is asked to call police on 0161 872 5050 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
