Mesquite police are investigating the shooting death of a 16-year-old boy on Saturday evening.
Investigators said the teenager, identified by family members as 16-year-old Key’Mydre Palmer, had a puncture wound to the chest that was later determined by doctors to be a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died.
“My kids said, ‘Mama, Mydre’s friend is outside again’ meaning, he’s a regular. That it’s someone Mydre knows, for him to come outside barefooted,” Palmer said. “He does what any other 16-year-old would do. Play his games. He’s not out running the streets.” "I don’t know why they took my baby," she said."He took away my baby. He took away a big brother. He took away a cousin, nephew, grandson."
