The 13-year-old boy had been shot multiple times in the face and head area, Philadelphia police said:
“It’s really a tragedy when you see anyone get shot, but especially someone this young," said Small.
Police said two young males were seen running from the area, but a motive wasn't immediately known. There were several security cameras in the area that detectives were reviewing, Small said, but they're also hoping witnesses come forward. “If they tell us what they saw, and what they heard – even if they heard an argument or fight beforehand – that really helps us,” Small told reporters. “And once we identify who this person is, and we talk to the family, we see if there was any fights at school or fights over social media, or anything they may know as to why or what would motivate someone to shoot a teenager.”
