PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND — A missing New Hampshire teen has been identified as the victim in a deadly Providence, Rhode Island shooting.
15-year-old Isiah Rosario, from Concord, was found suffering from a gunshot wound on March Street around 2:30 a.m., Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez told WPRI.

Rosario ran aware from home weeks ago, Perez told WPRI.
Perez called the shooting an “extremely sad loss of a young life in our city due to senseless gun violence.”
