Leonardo Sebastián was shot in the back with gunshots while he was arranging some products from the store.

Tijuana BC.- Cheerful, loving and hard-working; This is how they will remember Leonardo Sebastián Chávez Ramírez , who was murdered while tending a grocery store in the Pedregal de Santa Julia neighborhood .

He had turned 17 years old and was very attached to his mother, who is still heartbroken and waiting to recover her son's body from Semefo .

Leonardo Sebastián was shot in the back with gunshots while he was arranging some products from the store on Monday the 6th of this month; The identity of the attackers is unknown.

Since that day it has been an ordeal for the young man's family, especially because Mother's Day is about to be celebrated. Today the family asks for the support of the population to cover funeral expenses.

Gustavo Mosqueda Ramírez, Leonardo Sebastián 's uncle , expressed that they require 180 thousand pesos to give his nephew a Christian burial.

We are trying to seek support because the cost of burial is high. They asked us for 180 thousand pesos and we have not raised enough and it has to be in cash (in a single payment). Heartily support us. “Sebastián was our child that we loved very much, we were always supporting him, he was everything to us”

Leonardo Sebastián Chávez was a student at the Cobach Plantel Tijuana Siglo XXI public high school and his acquaintances will also remember him as an enthusiastic young man.

While arranging drinks in a refrigerator, Leonardo, a 17-year-old boy who worked in a grocery store was killed by a hitman who entered the business located in "El Pedregal" located in Santa Julia neighborhood, which had been required months ago to collect a floor [TL note: "cobro de piso" is basically extortion where you pay gangs to "protect" your building].

The homicide was recorded before 3:00 in the afternoon today, Monday, May 6, at Abarrotes 'El Pedregal', located on Ernesto Riedel Street in the neighborhood belonging to the San Antonio de los Buenos municipal delegation.

Leonardo, who just a few days ago had turned 17, lost his life almost instantly, when he was shot in the back.

After the armed attack, the hitman ran out of the grocery store and boarded a blue sedan vehicle, in which he fled the scene.

Municipal police who responded to the report indicated that next to the teenager, at least three 9 millimeter caliber shell casings were observed.

According to Leonardo's relatives, he had been working in the grocery store for two years, an activity that he combined with his studies.
