Anaheim Police Department investigators believe that the minor was shot by gang members.
A 17-year-old boy was shot to death in Anaheim, an innocent victim of a gang-related shooting, authorities said today.
The shooting occurred at about 9:45 p.m. on Friday in the 1100 block of North Acacia Street, according to Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Shane Carringer. The boy suffered"at least one gunshot wound,'' Carringer said. ``The unidentified suspect fled the scene prior to officer arrival.'' Paramedics took the boy to a hospital where he was taken into surgery and was unfortunately pronounced dead, just before 11 p.m.
"Homicide detectives believe the victim was not a gang member, and completely innocent of any wrong doing,'' Carringer said."The suspects however, are believed to be gang members.''
