Foster was found lying on a couch in a home in the 400 block of Young Street. He appeared to have been shot with a small caliber weapon, possibly a .22, the report said.

Maj. Scott Reeve from the Middletown Division of Police said officers are still investigating the shooting and no arrest has been made.
