Although officials initially believed the 16-year-old victim was handling a gun that misfired during a crash, an investigation determined the shot may have been unintentionally or recklessly fired by a friend.
Authorities initially reported that Delgado was driving with three other teens in the car and handling a gun when he crashed into the back of another vehicle, causing the gun to fire.His family said they never believed that he shot himself.
"He was shot and killed. He didn't shoot himself," Emmanuel's cousin, Adan Delgado, told ABC13. "We didn't want our cousin to be painted in a picture that he took his own life." Delgado was a junior at C.E. King High School, his family said. About a dozen family members gathered at his home wearing T-shirts with the teen's picture. The last few weeks have been devastating for them.
"It hurts a lot. We're in pain. He was so young. He didn't deserve that," Emmanuel's other cousin, Palmira Delgado, said.
