Friends and family are mourning a teen boy who was shot and killed in the Kensington section of Philadelphia Monday night.
Tymier Frasier, 14, and a 16-year-old boy were on the 2000 block of E. Orleans Street at 9:33 p.m. when a gunman opened fire. Frasier was shot several times in the back and neck while the 16-year-old was shot once in the left shoulder.
"I heard the shots and I came out the window," Lereida Quinones, who lived near Frasier, said. "I saw a guy running with blood on his shirt."
Both teens were taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital. Frasier was pronounced dead at 10:03 p.m. while the 16-year-old was listed in stable condition.
No arrests have been made in the shooting and police have not yet released information on any suspects.
As the investigation continues, friends, family and neighbors gathered at the scene of Frasier's murder Tuesday night to pay tribute to the slain teen.
"For something like this to happen, it's terrible," Frasier's uncle, Robert Smalls, said. "It's a shame."
