A witness who assisted at the scene told ABC7 the teenager was arguing with a person in a white SUV before shots were fired and the SUV drove away.

The teenage victim was shot in the stomach, police said. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where he was initially listed in serious condition.
