BENTON HARBOR, Mich. -- The teen whose body was found in front of 402 E. Empire Avenue in Benton Harbor has been identified.

The victim was 18-year-old Karrington Penny of Benton Harbor.

A preliminary toxicology screening revealed Penny had high levels of alcohol and drugs in his system, according to the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety.
