Family and friends gathered back at the shooting scene to honor the victim on Tuesday, May 21. The two victims were close friends.
"It’s horrible, it's like my worst nightmare," said Dalilah Sanchez, Alejandro’s sister.
She said she doesn't know who the shooters are.
"As much as I don’t want it to be anybody, I want it to be more of an adult because I feel if you're a kid, you don’t get charged with anything really much," she said.
"I been crying all day, nonstop. I can’t imagine," said Rylee Paladino, a friend of the two. "The way that their bodies fell, they were so scared."
The families of both teens have started GoFundMe pages to help pay for funeral services, that will be held this week.
