A teenage boy has died following a shooting early Thanksgiving morning in south Wichita, family tells KAKE News. 

Officers were called at around 2 a.m. to the report of a person shot near the Burger King in the 1900 block of east Pawnee. A 13-year-old boy told police he and the victim, 15-year-old Jimmy Shopteese, were confronted by three suspects in front of the Lost Sock laundromat.

"The 13-year-old stated one of the suspects brandished a handgun and shot the 15-year-old one time," Officer Charley Davidson said in a news release. "The two juveniles then ran across the street to the Burger King parking lot where the 15-year-old male victim collapsed."

Shopteese was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries. His mother said he has since died. 

"My son got shot and murdered and I don't know who did it," said Crystal Weers, Shopteese's mother.

Weers says that she had no idea her son sneaked out and wishes she could have stopped him.

" I just want to see my son walk in the door, I want to see my son tell me that he loves me," she said.  

Authorities are looking for anyone in the area who might have surveillance video of the shooting.

Officer Davidson said the only suspect information at this time is three black males in a silver four-door car. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Thursday morning's shooting death is Wichita's 29th homicide of 2016.
