Police confirm skeletal remains are of male teen-ager

STONE MOUNTAIN - Authorities said Wednesday that the skeletal remains found in a shallow grave in DeKalb County woods last week are of a teen-age male homicide victim. <br> <br> Paul Kelhofer, chief investigator for the DeKalb Medical Examiner&#39;s office, said the victim died of at least one gunshot to the chest. <br> <br> Kelhofer said, ``At least two bones showed defects from a bullet, but we can&#39;t tell yet how many times the victim had been shot. It might have been one bullet, we don&#39;t know.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Authorities recovered the remains last Wednesday from a grave eight to nine inches deep. Kelhofer said the bones had been there at least five years. <br> <br> DeKalb Police said most of the victim&#39;s clothing had disintegrated, and no bullets were recovered from the body. <br> <br> The victim is believed to be a black male 14 to 18 years old.
