A teenager who called police after her friend was gunned down in a drive-by shooting was told by a dispatcher to deal with it himself.

Seventeen-year-old Esperanza Quintero told The Associated Press she wished dispatcher Matthew Sanchez had done more to help after her friend Jaydon Chavez-Silver was shot in June.

He later died.

Sanchez resigned on Tuesday, a day after the recording of the call was released.
