13-year-old Georgia boy shot dead in front of family while working in the yard

Georgia Police are asking the public for help in finding the killer of a 13-year-old Riverdale boy who was shot in front of his family.

Clayton County Police said Brian Zavala, along with his father and brother, was fixing a lawn mower in the yard on Thursday night when a car pulled up to the house and a masked man got out.

“He didn't say anything. — recalls the tragedy of the boy's 16-year-old brother, Jesus — Neither «give your money here,» nor «this is a robbery.» He just silently stood in front of us and shot my brother. «

The suspect was allegedly armed with a shotgun and fired the only shot that hit Brian in the head — killing the boy on the spot. The shooter fled before the officers arrived.

«The Clayton County Police Department is asking local residents and anyone with knowledge of the crime to contact the Police Department or Crime Stoppers,» the police said in a statement.
