A 9-year-old New York City boy was shot and killed less than an hour after arriving in the Dominican Republic for a spring break family trip in what police are calling a botched robbery.
Dominican Republic police say that the group of men allegedly followed the rental car from Cibao International Airport and attempted to stop and rob the vehicle. The boy's father, Sergio Luis Feliz, and at least one other person were also in the vehicle. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a writer on the breaking news team for Fox News Digital.

When the group refused to stop, one of the robbers opened fire, striking the fourth grader in the head.
Gioser died in surgery following the fatal attack.
