BOSTON -- A teen who was gunned down Sunday in the South End was laid to rest Tuesday.

NewsCenter 5's Amalia Barreda reported that Abdirauf Abdulahi, 19, was gunned down late Sunday night in the South End, at the corner of Dwight and Shawmut streets. He collapsed a block away in front of his apartment building, the victim of a single gunshot to the chest. He was later pronounced dead.

On Tuesday, a few hundred mourners attended Abdulahi's Muslim burial in a simple pine casket in Canton.

Abdulahi's family, who fled Somalia for a better life in the United States 10 years ago, said they are heartbroken.

"He was a good boy, yes. A really, really good boy," Abdulahi's mother, Fadumo Mohamed, said.

Abdulahi had just graduated from Concord-Carlisle High School and planned to attend the University of Charleston in West Virginia.

"It is just a terrible, terrible tragedy. He, in fact, was a good student. He was an excellent young man. Really, most people who know him well described him as a gentle, young man. He was kind and generous and cooperative -- the kind of boy you would always see in the hall smiling, with a good group of friends. He was very purposeful with what he did at school. He really had a good future ahead of him," said Concord-Carlisle High School Principal Arthur Delong.

Police arrested two 15-year-olds after the shooting. Eloy Sierra, of Randolph, was ordered held without bail on adult murder charges. Another teen was charged as an accessory. The shooting's motive is still under investigation.
