A medical examiner has released the official cause and manner of death for a 20-year-old killed Dec. 30 in York County.
William Mason Worthington was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest, said Donna Price, district administrator for the Tidewater district office of the state medical examiner.
The death is considered a homicide.
Authorities said the shooting happened in a home in the 1000 block of Wilkins Drive, where Worthington lived.
The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office remains vague about details of the case. On Tuesday, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Shelley Ward said there were no new updates.
Previously, the sheriff’s office has declined to release whether there were any suspects or persons of interest, if there was a break-in at the home, whether the shooting was drug- or gang-related.
The incident is still under investigation, but is considered to be an isolated incident, authorities said.
Deputies responded to the home in the 1000 block of Wilkins Drive around 12:34 a.m. Dec. 30 after dispatchers received a call reporting a person had been shot.
Deputies arrived to find Worthington dead from a gunshot wound in the home.
