The young boy was killed on Aug. 5 while inside a home on the 200 block of Clay Street with his mother and two other children, police said.

Officers from the Salisbury Police Department responded to a 911 call at approximately 10:30 p.m. and found Colbert suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
