Fast Facts:
Angel Gebara was a 14-year-old boy with 10 siblings, who lived with his dad and attended Rhodes Middle School.
Angel was shot in the head late Friday while at his home in the 200 block of Saint Christopher Walk.
Police said after processing the scene and taking witness statements, they determined that there were, in fact, three shooters, each of which pulled their own trigger at some point after an unknown man allegedly made threatening gestures toward them.

Angel fought for his life at the hospital but didn’t make it.
Angel’s teachers said he was very smart, a good artist and knew how to play the piano.
The family has two plate sales in Bryan and in San Antonio this weekend to help raise funds for funeral expenses. The San Antonio plate sale will start at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Jireh House at 3220 South Laredo St.
