The shooting happened at his aunt’s house while Medina was helping the woman get her car started and was holding the hood open. Authorities say the attack appears to have been targeted and that multiple male perpetrators were involved. No arrests have been announced; investigators say leads have been exhausted but they believe they are close and have urged the public to come forward.
