Minneapolis Police Spokesman John Elder say the boy was shot in the head while riding home with his parents, after visiting his grandmother.

The boy was rushed to North Memorial Medical Center where police say he was in critical condition.

According to a GoFundMe page, doctors were prepared to pronounce the boy, identified as Ladavionne Garrett Jr., unable to be saved, but God had other plans. He is currently in a coma.

The GoFundMe page is hoping to raise $100,000 to help cover the families medical costs.
