A 14-year-old boy who loved basketball died after he was allegedly shot over a pair of sneakers.<\/p>\n
Treaujalaune Lornes\u2019<\/b> family is devastated by his shocking death, especially because they say the killer was one of the teen\u2019s friends, reports Denver7.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was sweet. He was a baby,\u201d the boy\u2019s sister\u00a0Tyquajanna Lornes<\/b>\u00a0said.<\/p>\n Known as Trey, Lornes dreamed of playing professional basketball in order to take care of his family.<\/p>\n \u201cHe wanted to have so much money (that) he could take care of everybody, his mom, all his brothers and me, and his little sister,\u201d Tyquajanna added.<\/p>\n His brief life came to an end Wednesday (Sept. 18) evening when he was shot inside a house on South Monaco Parkway, near Cook Park, Denver7 reports.<\/p>\n Earlier reports indicated the teen was shot over an altercation about a gun.<\/p>\n \u201cMy brother got shot on the stairs in the house, and now they\u2019re saying that it\u2019s not over a gun, it was over a pair of shoes!\u201d Tyquajanna said, distraught, to Denver7. \u201cIt was over a pair of shoes!\u201d<\/p>\n Denver police arrested a juvenile suspect, whose identity has not been revealed, Friday (Sept. 20) morning.<\/p>\n The suspect is being held for investigation of manslaughter, second-degree assault, three counts of felony menacing, attempting to influence public officials and juvenile in possession of a handgun, local Denver CBS4 reports.<\/p>\n \u201cThe boy that sat there with him and watched him die, and watched him go, when he should have died at home with us, killed him,\u201d Tyquajanna told Denver7.<\/p>\n The boy\u2019s mother, Ms. Lornes, said she spoke to the other boy\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n \u201cShe told me, \u2018My son feels so bad. He cries every night and tells me that he sees Trey all over again every time he goes to sleep,\u2019\u201d Ms. Lornes told Denver7, and while shaking her head she added, \u201cBut to wake up this morning and know that you were the one that did that to him.\u201d<\/p>\n A candlelight vigil was held Friday (Sept. 20) night in remembrance of Trey.<\/p>\n Now, the family is trying to raise money to pay for the boy\u2019s funeral, among other important necessities, through a GoFundMe account.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need any support that we can get right now,\u201d Trey\u2019s other sister, Tyquajornes, told CBS4.<\/p>\n The family is currently looking for volunteers to serve food at the funeral so that responsibility doesn\u2019t have to fall on the mourning family members. They\u2019re also asking for people to show support by standing outside of the service, which is closed to the public, and advocating against gun violence.<\/p>\n \u201cHe loved to make you laugh. He liked to make sure that at some part of your day you had a smile,\u201d Tyquajornes told CBS4. \u201cI miss him so much and every second I just wish he was here. I wake up, and I can\u2019t believe he\u2019s gone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A 14-year-old boy who loved basketball died after he was allegedly shot over a pair of sneakers.
