The 17-year-old boy who was shot in the head inside a Lexington home has died.

The Fayette County Coroner's office says Ali Shalash died Monday night after he was brought to U.K. hospital from a home on Dorset Drive, in Lexington's Cardinal Valley.

Lexington Police say two people were inside the home when the shots were fired.

Police are investigating how the shooting happened, and whether the shots were fired within the home, or into the home.

So far, no one has been charged in the incident.

Earlier Monday, police questioned a juvenile as part of their investigation.

hey cousin, i guess (allah) wanted his creation back to heaven. He said he was in need of an angel, Inshallah u are up there with ur dad inshallah allah can forgive u for any wrong doing u have done and open the gates of heaven for u.. We love u, it's crazy how u were taken away from us.. thats just not fair! you were an innocent life, But between me and you. I think those so called "FRIENDS" of yours who were "INVOLVED" had something to do with it. Seriously, first of all. When he was telling the news about your death ali he had NO EMOTIONS, second of all, if you were shot in the head it had to be in the house.. was there NO WAY no one saw it coming? Like seriously, but only you and allah know the truth and if those "FRIENDS" of yours have anything to do with this may god show them a path! rest your soul I love you
