“Outraged to learn that a 7-year-old child was killed during a drive-by shooting,” Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet.

“I urge the community to come forward with any information related to this senseless act of gun violence.”

“Let’s not accept daily gun violence as our norm. Our hearts go out to all those grieving in the wake of these shootings. We can and we must do more to stop gun violence.”

Cops said they have yet to determine a motive behind the fatal shooting.
