A 19-year-old man was shot and killed late Sunday night in Moraine.

Shortly before midnight, officers were called to a report of gunfire in the 2700 block of Gladstone Street. While police were on their way, they received an update that a person had been shot, said Moraine police Sgt. Andrew Dyer.

When crews arrived medics pronounced a 19-year-old man dead at the scene. His identity has not been released at this time.

The shooting took place at the 19-year-old’s residence, Dyer said. A family member who lived with him also was present.

A 911 caller told Moraine dispatch her grandson was shot and blood was coming from his head, according to police records.

She said someone shot through the house but she didn’t see anything.

“All I heard was the sound,” she said. “I thought it was fireworks or something.”

No one has been arrested in connection to the shooting. Dyer said the shooting does not appear to be random, but declined to confirm whether any suspects have been identified.

Investigators are continuing to work the case, Dyer said.
