LANCASTER (CBSLA) – Loved ones of Anthony Avalos, the 10-year-boy allegedly tortured and murdered by his mother and her boyfriend, gathered Saturday to celebrate his life. Avalos would’ve been 13-years-old this week.
The family gathered in front of the Lancaster apartment where Avalos was found unresponsive in June 2018.

Prosecutors say the couple beat the 10-year-old with a cord and belt, poured hot sauce on his face and dropped him on his head.
