Illinois boy, 9, shot to death at grandmother's birthday party: police

9-year-old Ulysess Campos was shot during his grandmother's 70th birthday party in Franklin Park, Illinois. Village of Franklin Park police are investigating the incident.

A 9-year-old boy was fatally shot during a birthday party in Franklin Park, Illinois on Saturday, police say.

Ulysess Campos was attending his grandmother's 70th birthday party when he was shot in the chest at around 10:15 p.m, NBC Chicago reported. He and other children were reportedly playing outside when someone in a car opened fire.

Campos' family members said that the 9-year-old – who was two weeks away from his 10th birthday – loved Batman and video games, according to FOX 32 Chicago. 

"He was a kindhearted, loving kid, he loved playing video games with his cousins, he had a creative imagination, and was always full of excitement," a GoFundMe created by a family member read. "He is a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and cousin. He will be eternally missed."
