SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An outpouring of support showed up Friday for the family of a developmentally disabled man who was allegedly killed by gang members at a car wash in South Los Angeles because he was wearing red shoes.



Tavin Price, 19, was shot four times in the back and chest last week. He was rushed to a hospital, but died while he was in surgery, his mother Jennifer Rivers said.



Authorities were looking for two suspects involved in the shooting.



More than $1,000 was collected at the Friday gathering to help the family with funeral expenses.
