Shortly after 1:00 a.m., on Thursday, November 12, 2009, officers were called to a residence located on Earth Star Trail. On their arrival, officers found the victim suffering from obvious signs of trauma. He was immediately taken, by ambulance, to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Late last week, investigators received special judicial permission to release the youth's name and photograph.
