“[Leos’ Mother] was merging to the right side to get away from this person, and as you can see if you go online and look at the photos, there’s one bullet shot in the trunk that went through the trunk and right through my nephew,” Leos’ uncle John Cloonan said, according to KABC-TV.

“Mommy, my tummy hurts,” Leos said to his mother after he was shot, Leos’ sister Alexis Cloonan said.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer told CBS Los Angeles murder charges may be pending after investigators can look at all the evidence. Officials reportedly know where the firearm and vehicle that was used in the death of Leos’ is located and are obtaining a search warrant.

“We’ll be and we are as we speak executing search warrants to get additional evidence that we’re going to and want to collect,” Spitzer said, according to CBS Los Angeles. “And we’re putting this case together. I feel very, very good about the case.”
