Investigators are searching for a pick-up truck they say may be connected to the killing of a 14-year-old boy in Niles.
Police were called to Arbor Trails Apartments around 11 p.m. on Thursday, May 12th, where they found Gavin Blankenship suffered from a gunshot wound.
Witnesses say they were walking with the victim when a light-colored pickup truck drove past. Then, several people got out of the truck, confronted the victim and shot him.
Now, police say a white 2011 Chevrolet Silverado Quad Cab was stolen near Oak Manor School one day before Blankenship died and it may be connected to his death.
