The death has the local neighborhood in shock.

"Sad, very, very sad," neighbor Robin Philbrick said on Thursday night. "He was a gentle kid. A very nice kid. People just need to slow down in the alleyways and take caution when they're driving because kids do play in the alleyways."

The accident is still under investigation. No charges have been filed.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the victim's family.
