An Orange, Massachusetts, teenager was killed in a shooting that investigators have determined was a homicide in Keene, according to New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella’s office on Wednesday.
Early Wednesday morning, Keene police received a 911 call about a person who was shot in a parking lot of Winchester Street, Formella’s office said in a statement.
Police arrived and found Christian Walker, 17, and he was taken to Cheshire Medical Center, the statement read. Walker was pronounced dead at 1:49 a.m.
Following an autopsy this afternoon, Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Abigail Alexander concluded that Walker’s cause of death was from a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, Formella’s office said. Walker’s death was ruled a homicide.
“While the exact circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under active investigation, all parties involved have been identified and there is no known threat to the general public at this time,” the statement read.
