Carlton Dean Jr., the 19-year-old killed in a murder Saturday morning, was a 2011 graduate of Maury High School and member of the swim team.

He was found shot in the 2700 block of Vincent Ave. in Ballentine Place around 5:45 a.m. Police have not reported any arrests.

"I'm getting calls from everyone. Kids that have graduated years ago that knew him and are very concerned," said Penny Smith, a family friend and the owner of Tri City Aquatic Club in Virginia Beach, where Dean was a swimmer since he was 5 or 6 years old.

Smith called Dean a sweet and sensitive young man.

"He was very, very conscientious with his friends. Very giving. Everybody loved him. I can't think of anybody that didn't like Carlton. He was just that kind of child."

The aquatic club's website posted a photo of Dean when he was around 11 or 12, along with a message of condolence.

Police said Dean was shot. His family lives in the neighborhood. Police are asking that anyone with information call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
