(Ventura, California) A 15-year-old boy who was shot at his junior high school died of head wounds, an autopsy showed Friday.

Lawrence King was taken off life support and had some of his organs harvested, said Armando Chavez, a senior deputy medical examiner with Ventura County.

King was targeted this week by a younger boy because he came to school in Oxnard dressed in feminine attire, classmates said.

Prosecutors have charged 14-year-old Brandon David McInerney with premeditated murder and want him tried as an adult.

McInerney was being held on $770,000 bail. Defense attorney Brian A. Vogel didn't return telephone messages seeking comment.


Rest in peace.

1. This is Disgusting!

...if I had a child who was gay, I would raise him to be proud of who he/she is. Then to go to school and get killed by some wingnut's brainwashed kid?

2. This breaks my heart. Too sad for words. I wonder if there is a way to donate to the family to help

cover the cost of a funeral. Has anyone seen a link for donations?
