The community is demanding the shooter to turn themselves in after a stray bullet killed a young boy playing video games in his room.

PASADENA, Calif. - Pasadena police said a teenager who was playing video games was killed in his own bedroom by a stray bullet that was shot through a window.

The tragic event occurred at a home located near the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and West Mountain Street just before 6:15 p.m. Saturday.

Police say multiple shots were fired at the home, ultimately killing the teen, later identified as Iran Moreno. The entire family was home at the time of the shooting.

The target of the shooting was unknown, but it did not appear to be the boy, police said. It is unknown if it was a drive-by shooting or if someone walked up to the home. Police are also working to determine if the shooting was gang-related.
