Description
A 7-year-old child was shot and killed after an altercation between two groups led to gunfire on July 4, according to Tampa police.
During a news conference Wednesday, Tampa Police Department Deputy Chief Calvin Johnson explained police responded just after 8:30 p.m. to the Courtney Campbell Causeway near the boat ramp on reports of a shooting.
When the shooting started, the grandfather of 7-year-old Yitzian Torres Garcia reportedly grabbed him and pulled him into a truck to avoid getting hit. But when they were inside the truck, a bullet went through and struck the grandfather's finger before hitting the child's head.
