BILLINGS — The Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office on Monday identified Khoen R. Parker as the 15-year-old Billings boy who was shot dead over the weekend.

Parker died early Sunday morning after a shooting at Castle Rock Park in the Heights.

According to the Billings Police Department, Parker was at the scene of a disturbance between several people that erupted in gunfire shortly after 2 a.m.

Police were called to the scene in a parking lot in the 400 block of Constitution Avenue but were unable to locate anyone. Several empty shell casings were discovered, however.

A few minutes later police were notified by a Billings hospital that a victim - later identified as Parker - had been dropped off at the emergency room, and later died.

Police continue to investigate and have not announced any arrests at this point.
