He was the 13 -year -old, who was often present at the fuel station where his mother worked, sitting in his mother’s car before going to the gas station, talking to her and returning abroad.

The male driver went out to the car, went to the service window and was speaking to Clara when the suspect, who was identified as Andres Adan Chavez, was identified from the back passenger seat of the car and remained.
“When Sait walked towards the fuel station, he walked through the suspect Chavez. Seth did not participate with the suspect,” he explained Luna. “From what we can say, there was no confrontation between them before the shooting.”
Sherif said that Chavez, completely unjustified, drew a firearm, took several steps towards the Saith and shot him from a close distance.
He said: “After Seth collapsed on the ground, the Shiviz suspects began to stand over him and launch multiple rounds in a café.”
Then the 20 -year -old suspect fled to the area on foot, and ran to a nearby residential area.
Both the driver and the female passenger remained at the scene, according to Luna. They were detained, interrogated and later released, pending more investigation.
“We are here today for two reasons. First, to obtain justice for the sater and his family, and secondly, to obtain this violent person who committed this very coward work from our streets,” Luna added. “The mother witnessed everything you just described, if you can imagine it.”
