The shooting happened Tuesday at 407 W. Gannon Avenue just after 6 p.m.
The victim, later identified as Carlton Damon Jr., ran inside the vape shop for help after being shot. First responders quickly arrived and took him to the hospital, but he died from his injuries.
“The 17-year-old boy, god knows, who knows he might be a doctor. He might be a police officer. He might be a president. Nobody knows. But to cut that life short-it’s sad,” nearby business owner Binta Jamba said.
