Clifton, who was suffering from a head injury when found, was taken to an area hospital. Police said he died the following day.

Wilmington's Criminal Investigations Division and the state's Division of Forensic Sciences determined Clifton’s injuries were sustained during an assault at that location, said David Karas, a police spokesperson.

Investigators have not said how Clifton was assaulted.

"At this time, this incident remains under active investigation, but I can confirm that the assault did not involve a firearm or knife," Karas said.
