Chicago parents are mourning the death of their 13-year-old son after he was shot Sunday night, allegedly as the result of a confrontation between his sisters and another group concerning a social media post.
Anthony Diaz was shot multiple times around 10 p.m. Sunday in Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood, police told the Chicago Tribune. Authorities said Diaz had been using his cell phone to record an argument — between his two older sisters, ages 15 and 17, and a group of individuals — related to a Facebook posting. He was shot multiple times in the left side of his body about a block away from his home.
