The York County Coroner’s Office has released the name of the deceased shooting victim as 12-year-old Kain Heiland.
According to the coroner’s report, Heiland’s body was discovered on the 100 block of First Avenue in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, at approximately 10:00 p.m. on Saturday.
The state police are leading the investigation into the incident, thus the coroner’s office did not feel it necessary to divulge many details.
According to the coroner’s report, Heiland was shot in the upper back/chest, and his death was deemed a homicide because of the manner in which he died.
The York County coroner explained that the homicide verdict meant Heiland had been killed by another person, but that it made no judgments about whether or not any wrongdoing had occurred.
Pennsylvania State Police have not made any arrests in the death of 12-year-old Kain Heiland around 8:30 p.m. Saturday on the first block of First Avenue in Red Lion.
