LEBANON, Pa. — Editor's Note: The above video is from Feb. 17.

Police in Lebanon County are looking for tips in the investigation of a Feb. 15 shooting that left a 13-year-old victim dead.

Jason Rivera died of injuries sustained in a Feb. 15 shooting that occurred on the 300 block of Vine Street in South Lebanon Township, according to police.

"This was a child with a bright future," said Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf at a press conference a few days after the shooting. "This was a little boy gunned down in a parking lot for no reason."

Rivera loved sports and playing video games and was obsessed with sneakers, his family said.
