An unidentified 15-year-old was shot several times and dumped on a neighborhood street in Clarksville, Tennessee on Sunday, leaving him desperately screaming for help.
The boy screamed in terror, a raw “help me, help me, help me” as he hurriedly picked himself off the ground and ran toward the nearest home. He continued to scream “help me” at the top of his lungs for several long moments before stumbling back down the driveway and collapsing on the concrete.Tia Castillo, a resident of the neighborhood who rushed to help the young man, said she was “absolutely crushed” to find out he was only a teenager.
“He looked me in my eyes and told me: ‘Tell my mom I love her, I am going to die,'” Castillo recalled toJaylen Ford, 19, who lives across the street, heard the teenager’s desperate cries for help and rushed to help him. The Nest doorbell footage picked up on more than five gunshots sounding in the quiet neighborhood, moments before a Toyota Camry Hybrid came speeding down the road.Halfway down the street, the back driver’s side door opens up and the teenager, wearing a red shirt, was shoved onto the road, causing him to be dragged and spun down the street as his shoes go flying.via WKRN
“I saw him collapse to the floor, he was screaming at the top of his lungs, [he was] terrified,” Ford told the outlet. “One thing he said while he was on the ground was, he said: ‘I can’t believe this is me, I didn’t know this could be me.’ “He was saying that, and I can just imagine everything that was going through his head,” Ford continued. “Being 15 years old, you should never have to come to that conclusion, that you might die.”Clarksville Police Department released images of the suspect’s car, saying the back passenger side had a “valence window” and there was a Mickey Mouse sticker on the driver’s side mirror.
