“A 16-year-old boy shot inside a vehicle Thursday in S***** R***** succumbed to a critical gunshot wound to the head Saturday morning, according to the S***** R***** Police Department…

…Police said the shooting occurred Thursday at 10:30 p.m. in the **** block of W******* Drive. Officers who arrived on the scene found three unidentified people outside a vehicle and [the boy] inside.

Investigators believe the homicide is gang related, and authorities are asking anyone with information to call the gang crimes team…”

There is a memorial set up on the street corner. The shooting took place about 400 feet away from my apartment. Neither of the boys in the house heard it and I was in Sacramento and missed it. But we drove by the site twice yesterday and I was filled with sadness and fear. Of course, there is a strong possibility that he was part of a gang and the people who shot him were part of a gang as well. But there is also the possibility that he wasn’t.

I knew we didn’t live in the best neighborhood. But I had no idea that a shooting would take place right outside. We are moving again in April. And I am sorry that we have to wait that long.

p.s. the clip came from the SFPost.
