A 13-year-old Longmont boy was shot and killed on Saturday afternoon and police say they are asking for the public's help in their investigation. The crime was described as a drive-by shooting, and another person was also injured.
The shooting happened just after 1:45 p.m. near the intersection of Kensington Street and St. Clair Avenue, not far from Kensington Park. Authorities say it took place close to a basketball court.
