A case study involves an in-depth examination of a single individual or group. In this scenario, the researcher conducted a detailed study of a 13-year-old boy who was a member of a gang and was murdered by a rival gang, which involved interviews with the boy's relatives, friends, and teachers. This fits the definition of a case study. Naturalistic experiment involves observing behavior in a natural setting without manipulating any variables. Observational study involves systematically recording behaviors without manipulating any variables. Self-report study involves participants reporting their own behaviors or experiences. None of these methods fit the scenario described in the question.
