Emil Jahaziel Death: In Centerville, a man has been reported dead after a shooting incident at a residence on Thursday morning. The shooting occurred after a break-in was reported.
According to Centerville police Officer John Davis, who serves as the public information officer, the man was shot and declared deceased at the location.
At approximately 4:55 a.m., a resident living in the 9700 block of Sheehan Road notified authorities that an individual was attempting to gain entry into their home.
“Shortly after that there was a report of a gunshot,” Davis said. “When officers arrived we found one male deceased in the residence as a result of a gunshot wound.”
Police also found a woman in the front yard.
“We have not been able to ascertain what her involvement is at this point,” Davis said. “But she was removed by medics to the hospital for issues unrelated to the shooting.”
No other injuries were reported.
Davis would not day if the man who died was the person who was breaking into the home.
“We’re not looking for any suspects,” he said. “We have everyone that was involved identified and we’re just working through getting answers to a lot of the questions we have as to what led up to the shooting.”
A family of four lives at the home. Davis said the two children are with their parents.
Investigators received a search warrant for the home and a vehicle was towed from the scene.
