The Alabama State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) is investigating a Sunday firearm assault that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old Kinston teen.

Kinston Police Chief Alvah Carlson asked SBI for help.

According to a release from SBI, at approximately 4:15 p.m., the Kinston Police Department received reports of a firearm assault in the 700 block of Highway 52 North. When officers arrived, they found 19-year-old Kaleb Giles, of Kinston, suffering from what is believed to be multiple gunshot wounds. Giles died from his injuries at the scene.
