LOS ANGELES, CA His grandfather, William Shannon told the Los Angeles Times that Aaron Shannon Jr. died about 10 p.m. Monday night, hours after he was declared brain-dead by doctors at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

Police and family members say the boy was proudly showing off his Spider-man costume Sunday afternoon when two suspected gang members opened fire from a nearby alley.

The boy's grandfather and uncle were grazed by bullets. The two suspected gang members fled and have since eluded capture.
