Police say someone shot the teen Monday on Northwest 12th Street and Chateau Park Drive. He later died at the hospital.

All she has now are memories.
"Our children are supposed to say goodbye to their parent, not a parent saying goodbye to a 15-year-old child,” Cox said.
As family, friends and the community said one of their final goodbyes Saturday, Cox is confident police will catch the person responsible for her nephew's death.
"We're all hurting but we'll get through this, by the grace of God we'll through,” Cox said.
Fort Lauderdale Police have no updates on Monday's shooting.
