Jaheim Crawford-Hood died after the shooting Sunday night around 9:45 p.m. in the 300 block of Old Camden Road, Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile and Coroner Karla Knight-Deese said.

Hood and several others were outside the house when people outside the house and in a car passing by exchanged gunfire, Faile said in a statement. Crawford-Hood was the only person hit, according to Faile.

Faile said the shooting does not appear to be random. It is unclear how much information from others at the scene has been shared with law enforcement.

Sheriff’s office spokesman Doug Barfield told The Herald Tuesday the investigation remained ongoing but no arrests have been made.
