Cook left his phone in a taxi but used an app to track the device to an address in London’s north end.
Police have said when he and a relative arrived at the location early Sunday morning the app indicated the phone was in a nearby car with three men inside.
WATCH: All Jeremy Cook wanted was to find his lost cell phone. But when the 18 -year-old London, Ontario teen tracked it down, it ended with him losing his life. Cindy Pom has the details.
Details of what happened next are sketchy, but police say when Cook tried to get his phone, the vehicle started driving away, prompting the 18-year-old to grab on.
Shots were then fired and Cook died of multiple wounds.
