The 9-year-old boy suffered serious injuries and was transported from the scene by ambulance to a Beaumont hospital.

All donations to this fundraiser go to the fundraiser creator's personal checking account. Stripe, Facebook's fundraising payment processor, distributes each donation after a 7 day hold to reduce risks, such as refunds and negative balances.

He died at the hospital.

The Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation and we will update the information, pending notification of other family members.
