Suspect in fatal shooting of 13-year-old in California may be in Massachusetts, police say
Police in Pasadena, California believe a suspect wanted in the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old boy in 2021 may be in Massachusetts.
According to police, 13-year-old Iran Moreno was playing video games in his bedroom on Nov. 20, 2021, when a stray bullet from a shooting outside pierced through the wall and killed him.
The gunman was seen on surveillance video getting out of a gray 2017-2020 Ford Fusion and firing his gun twice. Using newly enhanced surveillance video, the Pasadena Police Department said they found the car's partial license plate number was QJ117.
Police also released sketches of the gunman and his possible getaway driver. After the sketches were released, police said they received a tip Thursday morning from a woman who said she had seen the man on several occasions in March and April in the Swampscott and Boston area. Police called the tip credible.
