UPDATE: Relatives say Angel Mercado, 16, was shot in North Las Vegas Monday night.
"Frustrated, mad, that I couldn't do nothing about it," said Mercado's uncle.
It happened as the teen was playing soccer outside. Relatives say suspected gang members drove up and picked a fight.
Mercado ignored the men and that's when gunfire erupted.
