Teen fatally shot over iPhone was reportedly killed by a friend, mom says

A New York woman claims her 15-year-old son was fatally shot over an iPhone by one of his own friends.

“I know the friend that killed my son,” Annie Johnson said of her son, Trevor Rhudd, to the New York Post. “He was being robbed for his phone.”

Trevor was found dead by police with a gunshot wound to the chest Saturday afternoon. His pants pockets were turned out.

“I saw my son dead on the ground with his mouth open, I can’t get that out of my head. They turned his pockets out to steal his Christmas money,” Johnson told the outlet.

Local authorities had footage of Trevor being lead into an ambush by four of his friends, his mom said.

“They had four kids waiting for him, they rushed him out of the house to kill him,” Johnson said. “Nowadays you don’t need a reason to kill someone. My son was well known and well liked.”

Later on the surveillance footage, a man appeared, Miles Sutton, who Johnson said was captured running out of a stairwell where her son was.

“He came running out of the exit. It looks very suspicious,” Johnson said.

Sutton, 31, had been arrested in the past for tampering with evidence, criminal possession of marijuana and criminal possession of a gun. He has not yet been charged with murder.

Johnson does not believe Sutton was not the killer, however. She claimed the last number on her son's phone was the number of the friend who killed him.

The shooting is still under investigation.
