A 14-year-old boy from Chicago is in a coma after he, his father and uncle were shot on a family vacation in Mexico, according to local reports and a fundraiser for the family.

Durango, Mexico, officials told NBC 5 Chicago that Vicente Peña Jr., 38, and Antonio “Tony” Fernandez, 44, both from Chicago, were killed in the shooting last week, along with Jorge Eduardo Vargas Aguirre, 22.

Pena, his son and Fernandez are U.S. citizens, and Vargas Aguirre is a local resident and relative of the other victims, the Durango Attorney General’s Office said, ABC News reported.

A fundraiser on SpotFund created by the 14-year-old’s mother says the teenager “traveled to Durango, Mexico with his father, brother and uncle to visit family and celebrate his 14th [birthday].”
