READING, Pennsylvania** — A person who was shot Thursday afternoon in Reading’s Glenside neighborhood has died, and the Berks County District Attorney’s Office has ruled the death a homicide, according to information released by Reading police.
The shooting was reported at approximately 3:55 p.m. Thursday in the 500 block of Avenue B. Officers responded to the scene after receiving a report that a person had been shot.
The victim was transported to Reading Hospital for emergency medical treatment but later died from the injuries sustained in the shooting.
Berks County District Attorney John Adams has ruled the death a homicide. The victim’s identity has not yet been publicly released, and authorities have not provided further details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
## Police Respond to Avenue B Shooting
The incident prompted a police response in the Glenside neighborhood as officers began investigating what happened and gathering information about the fatal shooting.
Authorities have described the incident as isolated and stated that there is no ongoing threat to the public. However, investigators have not publicly disclosed whether a suspect has been identified, whether anyone has been taken into custody, or what may have led to the gunfire.
The investigation remains focused on establishing the events surrounding the shooting and determining whether anyone else was involved.
## Victim’s Identity Remains Unknown

Authorities may release additional information as the investigation progresses and the appropriate notifications are completed. Details regarding the victim’s age, the number of shots fired, a possible motive and any potential suspects have not been confirmed in the information available.

The ruling that the death was a homicide means authorities are investigating the death as one caused by another person’s actions. It does not, by itself, establish that a particular individual has been charged or found legally responsible.
