According to police, the man was found to be suffering from at least one gunshot wound near Franklin Avenue East and Cedar Avenue at around 8 p.m. on July 3. Another man in his 30s was also found suffering from a gunshot wound but that man’s injuries were not considered life-threatening.
Both men were taken to a hospital for treatment.
Investigators believe the shooting was the result of an altercation but no other details have been released.
Police say two 14-year-old boys and a 17-year-old boy were arrested that same day and one of the 14-year-olds has been charged with assault. Police are now working to upgrade that charge given one of the victims died.
