Minutes before the shooting, Francois brought the teen home to meet his family, his mother said. They then left to a neighborhood store, and Francois was shot while walking.
“I want justice for my son. Everybody knows who he is. He’s a sweetheart," his mother Yvelouse Chery said. "He always says hi to everybody, he loves everybody."
Miami-Dade Police homicide detectives took over the investigation.
