Angel Medina

Age 16

Stockton, California

He hoped to see the world

He had big travel plans.

A party in Las Vegas to celebrate his mom’s birthday. A family vacation to Mexico. A trip with his two younger sisters to Disneyland.

Angel Medina, 16, was found shot in the driver’s seat of his car in a Walgreens parking lot on Feb 24, 2018, in Stockton, California. He later died at a local hospital. While he never got to see the world, a tattoo of his face is on his mother’s right arm, traveling with her as she lives out his dreams.
