Two men were near the sidewalk when at least one person approached them and took out a gun before firing shots, police said.
Police said an 18-year-old man, was shot at least 15 times in his head, neck and leg, and was taken to Christ Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was identified by family as Maurice Clay, Jr.
“I just can’t believe this, that they shot my baby that many times, 15 times,” said Theresa Maiz, Clay’s mother.
Another man, 27, was shot in his foot and taken to LCM Hospital in good condition. Family said the 27-year-old was the teen’s older brother.
Maiz said her son was a star year-round athlete and was months away from graduating high school. He dreamed of playing in the NFL.
“Now I got a hole and it can’t be filled no more,” she said.
