A five-year-old Texas boy, who was fatally shot while making TikTok videos on his balcony, has died. Jordan Allen Jr. died a week after he was hit by a stray bullet in a shootout, abc13 reports.
The family was on the porch on the second floor balcony when Allen was shot in the incident that happened last Tuesday in the 8500 block of Richmond Avenue near Dunvale in southwest Houston. The family said they heard about six shots rang.
“He just told me to get him some juice, that’s why I stepped in the house to get him some juice,” Allen Sr. recalled as reported by abc13. And the next thing he would hear was his injured son calling for help.
