    Salisbury police are looking for whoever shot and killed a 14-year-old Friday night.

    Police said they responded to the 300 block of North Fulton Street after receiving reports about a shooting.

    Although officers found the victim on North Fulton Street, they believe he was shot on North Ellis Street.

    Channel Nine’s Glenn Counts spoke with neighbors there, who are upset with the violence.

    “We were hanging out on my porch and just having a good time and then all of a sudden we just heard some gunshots and it sounded like cannons it was so loud,” the neighbor said.

    An investigation revealed that the victim was walking along North Ellis Street when he was shot by unknown individuals. He managed to make it to North Fulton Street before collapsing, according to police.

    The teen’s murder has had a devastating effect on this community.

    “It’s happening way too often and it’s sad and I just send my prayers out to the family because it’s horrible,” the neighbor said.

    Police said no one has been arrested in connection with this incident. Anyone with information regarding this shooting is asked to call Lt. Casper at 704-638-5333.
