The victim’s grandmother said Daquane was in the living room when she heard what sounded like firecrackers and discovered her grandson had been shot in the head.
Sheriff John Mina said the shooting was a retaliatory attack from a gang.
A vigil for Daquane was canceled on Thursday night due to the family’s concern over safety.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
