We begin with continuing coverage of a teen murder case out of Lancaster County as police are still looking for the boy's killer Friday night.

But according to the mother of the teenager's son, she's not surprised he ended up dead.

In the words of the mother of his son, David Montes lived a "rough life". His father and brother are currently in jail and he was in a detention facility in Lebanon County.

He recently got a home pass to visit family in Lancaster and now, he's dead.

"I was expecting this,” stated the mother of Montes’ child, Ashley Lozano. Lozano added she was expecting it because of the way he lived his life.

All that Ashley Lozano has left to hold is a picture of David Montes, the father of her 9-month-old son. Montes, who turned 17 in December, was shot and killed on the sidewalk on Queen Street Wednesday night. No arrests have been made.

As police continue their investigation to find out exactly what happened here and find the killer, they keep discovering more evidence. A bullet hole was found Friday.

Lozano says that Montes got involved with the wrong crowd at a young age.

"Stealing cars, robbing stores, the typical wild, young, thing," Lozano commented.

The former McCaskey student dropped out, got in trouble, and found himself at a juvenile detention facility in Lebanon County. But Lozano would rather remember a different person.

"He was a happy person, always smiling,” Lozano told us. “Everybody that he knew, he always had us laughing. He was never mad and never sad."

Now she must move on without the father of her son.

"I just keep a smile on my face, because I know he wants me to be happy,” Lozano admitted. “I'll take care of Cameron and I'm going to keep his spirit alive."

Montes' mother is in town from New York and she chose not to comment.

The investigation is continuing. If you know anything, you are asked to call Lancaster City Police.
