A man found dead inside a Columbia home hours after gunfire hit the block has been identified as Christopher Colon Martinez, 31, the Lancaster County Coroner’s Office announced on Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Martinez, of 239 Walnut Street, died at 11:52 a.m. inside his home, according to the release. The coroner was called to the scene at 11:18 a.m. and reported "no suspicious findings."

Columbia Borough Police were first called to the 200 block of Walnut Street at 10:14 a.m. on Dec. 9 for a possible overdose and found Martinez dead inside the residence.

Investigators later determined he had been "involved with a shots fired incident" that occurred earlier that morning around 1:16 a.m., when several vehicles and a home were struck by gunfire.

The cause and manner of death remain pending, with an autopsy scheduled for the morning of Dec. 10, along with routine toxicology testing, the coroner said.

Police added that there is no known danger to the public as the investigation continues.
