A 16-year-0ld North Carolina boy was shot in the face by one of a group of friends at a sleepover in Charlotte on Sunday.

His family said in a GoFundMe that they were told by doctors Jeremiah Gonzalez would not survive his injuries.

“On the night of September 21st, 16-year-old Jeremiah Gonzalez was doing what any teenager should be able to do — spending time at a sleepover, playing video games with friends,” the GoFundMe page said. “Jeremiah was a bright, kind, and loving young man with his whole future ahead of him.”

Yosue Ramos, 20, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and possession of a stolen firearm, the Charlotte Observer said.

An arrest affidavit says that Gonzalez and Ramos were at the home of friends, a 21-year-old man and his 17-year-old brother. The 17-year-old witness to the shooting told investigators that Ramos brought two guns into the house, a Smith & Wesson and an AR-style pistol. Ramos picked up the Smith & Wesson, pointed it at Gonzalez, and pulled the trigger, the teen said, adding that he had a habit of pointing unloaded weapons at them and pulling the trigger.

After the shooting, the 21-year-old tried to offer aid while the 17-year-old called police. Ramos grabbed the AR pistol and fled. Police tracked his vehicle and arrested him.

Investigators found the gun used to shoot Gonzalez on the bed near the boy. Its serial number showed that it was stolen.

Court records show a pending carrying a concealed weapon charge against Ramos from 2024. He is being held in the Mecklenburg County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He is due back in court in October, and charges are likely to be upgraded by that time.
