“This is another tragic loss of a young person in our city," Chief Cliff Carruth said. "Too many lives are being snuffed out before they have truly begun. We worked through the night investigating this senseless act of violence, and will continue until we have identified and arrested the perpetrator,. We need the community’s help though. Somebody knows something, and I ask that you come forward and cooperate with the investigation. My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of this young man during this awful time.”
