The man's death was announced on Friday, May 17. Police have not released his name.

Officers said the man crashed his vehicle into a home on Paine Street on April 30, just after 9 p.m. Paramedics rushed him to an area hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

A 16-year-old was charged with armed assault to murder, possession of a loaded firearm without a license, and possession of ammunition without an FID card, Worcester police said. His name was not released because of his age.

Police are now investigating the shooting as a homicide and more charges are likely forthcoming.

Officers ask anyone with information on the shooting to contact Worcester detectives at 508-799-8651.
