Laron Henderson, 15, was murdered shortly after 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 25, and his body was found in an alley near the intersection of Eldorado Avenue and Liberty Heights Avenue, police said following the shooting.

However, while the public was made aware of the tragic fatality, his family was not immediately advised that the teen was the victim of Wednesday’s shooting, WJZ reported.

The report states that Henderson was not identified, and no one called his mother to let him know that he died and had been identified, though the school district said that since the shooting happened off campus, it was the responsibility of police investigators.
