Kevin Diaz suffered three gunshot wounds to the chest about 10:15 p.m. in the 6400 block of South Francisco Avenue -- two blocks south of where he lived, according to police and a spokesperson at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Diaz was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:42 p.m.
An officer told NBC Chicago it's believed the boy had gang ties.
