Death of young footballer shot by police sparks outrage in Mexico

Hundreds of people bade farewell to a 16-year-old Mexican-American boy who was shot dead by police in southern Mexico. Alexander Martínez was laid to rest in a funeral that reflected his passion for football – friends brought his coffin to a local football pitch so that he could 'score' a final goal. Martínez was shot in the head by police on Tuesday night and another teenager was also wounded in the incident and later died in hospital. The case, which is still under investigation, has sparked outrage in Mexico with protests planned in Acatlán de Pérez Figueroa, Martínez's home town

The story is Alexzander Martinez was a 16 year old boy who lived in Mexico. All he would play was football. Sadly though one day Alexzander was walking and the police thought he was a criminal and he was shot and killed.
