FOREST PARK, Ga. (AP) — Clayton County police say a 13-year-old boy has died after being shot during an armed robbery in Forest Park.

Authorities say two men in an SUV approached Steven Galindo as he was putting air in his sister's tire Monday night. Officials say they demanded the keys to the woman's car and all of their other belongings.

Police say Galindo's sister gave one of the suspects her keys and the other man tried starting the woman's car. Authorities say the car didn't start and one of the suspects began shooting at the woman's vehicle. Galindo and his sister tried running from the suspects but police say the teen was wounded and later died at a local hospital.

Investigators are speaking with Galindo's relatives to try forming a description of the suspects.
