Alexis Urbina, a 2013 USA Boxing youth national champion, died on Thursday. He was 17.

Urbina was born and raised in Phoenix and was considered a rising boxing prospect who dreamed of representing his country in the Olympics.

Urbina's publicist Lorin Chvotkin posted on his Facebook page Wednesday that Urbina, a senior at Phoenix South Mountain High School, "was found fatally attacked in his Phoenix, Arizona home in what appears to be a random act of violence."

Investigators are treating Urbina's death as a homicide, according to a Phoenix Police Department press release.

The release said Urbina stayed home in south Phoenix from school on Tuesday. He was found unconscious with visible trauma in his home that afternoon.

There were no obvious signs of forced entry but investigators are considering robbery. There are no known suspects.

At 16, Urbina won the 141-pound Youth Men's Division at the 2013 USA Boxing National Championships in Spokane in April.

He was selected as a member of Team USA in the Klitschko Brothers Tournament in Berdichev, Ukraine in June.

He was also one of the few chosen to participate in a recent training camp with top junior boxers at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

"The thoughts of prayers of the entire boxing community are with Alexis' family and friends at this difficult time," said USA Boxing Executive Director Anthony Bartkowski in a statement.

"Alexis was a special young man and a talented boxer with an incredibly bright future both in and out of the boxing ring. His life was cut way too short and he will be sorely missed by everyone at USA Boxing."

There is a crowd funding account set up online to help the Urbina family with funeral expenses at gofundme.com/46xnfs.

The page has been shared on social media 661 times and has raised $560 as of Thursday afternoon.
