Kobe Dotson

The victim was barely breathing when police found him about 10:15 p.m. in the 2800 block of Chippewa Street. He had been thrown from a pickup truck that struck a house. He died later at a hospital. The dead teen apparently had been in the pickup with two 16-year-old girls and a 17-year-old boy. The pickup was backing up on Chippewa when the shooting happened. The vehicle hit a fire hydrant, and both drivers side doors were ripped from the vehicle, police said. The vehicle then hit a home. Police recovered guns at the scene. The three younger teens who were riding in the pickup ran off but were caught by officers. They were treated for minor injuries.
