The man slain during a home invasion Saturday died of a single gunshot wound, according to a Hamilton County medical examiner’s report released this week.

Charles McCaine, 25, was shot at his home at 2508 Latta St. about 1:30 a.m., according to police reports.

One of three gunmen fired the round while he was lying face-down on the floor, reports show. He was taken to Erlanger hospital, where he died during surgery.

McCaine had a lengthy arrest record including charges of burglary, theft, vandalism and domestic assault, according to court records.

His family declined to comment when contacted at their home Wednesday morning.
