HEATH – Heath police say that a 12-year-old boy was found dead in a wooded area in the 1700 block of White Road about 10 pm last night after he was reported missing at about 9 pm.
He was found with a gun shot in his leg.
Multiple reliable Heath sources say his name is Ethan Moran, the son of Daniel and Angela Moran, and he attended Amy Parks Elementary School. Rockwall ISD grief counselors are now at the school assisting children and staff.
Sources said he went for a walk in the woods as he often did but usually returned soon.
A parent-led prayer vigil will be held for the boy and his family at 12:30 pm today at Amy Parks, 330 Laurence Drive, next to the Heath City Hall.
