Emergency medical teams rushed to a residential street in Sharon early Thursday morning after a 24-year-old man suffered a fatal injury from a crossbow arrow.
Police officers received an urgent call shortly after 1:00 a.m. regarding an injured person on the 200 block of South Myers Avenue.
Officers arriving at the scene located Billy E. Colwell bleeding heavily from a deep wound near his shoulder.
Paramedics provided emergency medical care before loading Colwell into an ambulance for transport to a nearby hospital.
Doctors at the medical facility worked to save the young man, but he ultimately died from his critical injuries.
Mercer County Coroner John Libonati confirmed that a crossbow arrow directly caused Colwell’s fatal injury.
Police officers secured the property on South Myers Avenue while forensic technicians began collecting physical evidence.
Detectives continue gathering information about Colwell’s movements earlier in the evening to piece together what happened.
