A 17-year-old boy died in Albuquerque, New Mexico last week after a 911 dispatcher hung up on his friend who called for help. Jaydon Chavez-Silver was shot in a drive-by shooting while he was at a house party.
His local radio station, KRQE, obtained audio of that phone call, which TKTK Matthew Sanchez telling Chavez-Silver's friend to "deal with it" herself after she swore at him while trying to perform CPR. From KRQE:
Sanchez was taken off of dispatcher duty after the chief of dispatch center found out about his "alleged misconduct." KRQE also reports that Sanchez has resigned from his job as a firefighter for the Albuquerque Fire Department.
Albuquerque police are currently investigating the case of the drive-by shooting—so far, no arrests have been made, according to BuzzFeed News. His family has set up a memorial page on Facebook to share photos and memories of the teenager.
