A 1 year old baby boy was shot in the stomach by a 15-year-old gang member when he fired at a crowd outside of a South Los Angeles home.
After being shot Angel Cortez was being held by his father and then pronounced dead by authorities.

According to the LA Times, the 15-year-old is also a suspect of murders in the past:
Dokins, a suspected Fudgetown Mafia Crip gang member, was taken into custody Wednesday after Los Angeles Police Department detectives obtained information linking him to the June 4 shooting that killed Angel Mauro Cortez Nava and wounded his father, Mauro Cortez, according to court documents and law enforcement sources familiar with the case.
Dokins was identified as a suspect within days of Angel’s death, according to the June 13 search warrant affidavit.
In addition to that slaying, the teen is believed to be “a suspect in previous murders,” according to the court papers. LAPD Criminal-Gang Homicide detectives did not elaborate in the affidavit on details of those crimes or possible victims.

The suspect is currently held in prison and has a bail of $3 million.
We will keep Angel’s family in our prayers, and we hope that justice will be served for him.
