Their findings indicate that the victim died from gunshot injuries to the left side of his face and the back of his head.
The case has been classified as a “homicide,” as further investigations are ongoing.
Police officials said the investigation is still in its early stages.

“Community cooperation is essential in helping us bring justice for the victim. We urge anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward immediately,” Officer Yancy said.
The police however confirmed that Kun remains have been released to the family, received by his brother Nathan S. Toe, while law enforcement continues to gather evidence and follow all investigative protocols.
