Police: Gardner Teen's Death A Homicide

POSTED: 4:19 pm CST February 5, 2008
UPDATED: 4:28 pm CST February 5, 2008

Authorities were investigating the death of a 16-year-old Gardner boy as a homicide, Gardner police said in a news release on Tuesday.

Dakota DeRemus "had some heart disease" and was involved in a fight with another person on Monday, the news release stated.

Police initially called their investigation a death investigation but changed it to a homicide investigation after a medical examiner conducted an autopsy on Tuesday, according to the news release.

They'd identified a person of interest -- a minor -- and took that person of interest into custody.
