HENDERSON (KSNV News3LV) — Friends and family are remembering a 14-year-old son who Henderson police say was shot and killed by his own father.

People close to the murder victim say part of the argument leading to the shooting was about the teen's sexual orientation.

Friends of Giovanni Melton remember an energetic teenager bringing smiles to everyone he met.

Coronado High School Senior Bailey Schultz says Melton went to her school.

"It’s just sad. He was young and he had a lot to live for," said Schultz.
