17-year-old Jayz Sotelo Garcia and his 15-year-old brother Angel were both killed Saturday night just before 10 p.m. in Oakland.
It's believed that gunshots rang out sometime afterward, killing the two brothers and striking two others who survived. Garcia says Jayz and Angel were the oldest of six and were always helping their mother. She says they were role models for their four young siblings.
"They idolized them. They'd always be like, 'Where are you going? Take me with you. I want to go with you.'" Garcia fought back tears as we spoke with her Sunday night. She said Jayz had become excited about going to college and Angel was so outgoing, someone who just loved living life.RELATED:"From my perspective, it feels like you see two young brown kids who are victims of gun violence and most people's minds automatically jump to gang association. That's not true! My little boys weren't affiliated with anything.
She continued referring to first Jayz and then Angel, "He was in the process of learning and he was really really excited about learning. Angel, that's my little sweetheart. Angel was always very heartwarming."A GoFundMe page has been started for the family of the boys who are now planning two funerals. Their GoFundMe page can be found
