This is the suspected burglar shot dead by a farmer in an alleged bungled break-in.
Locals named Marcus Smith, 19, as the man who died of fatal gunshot wounds during the incident in the Peak District early yesterday.
Officers were called to reports of a break-in at a property on a remote country lane, in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, at around 1.20am.
They found Mr Smith with fatal injuries inside the property and another seriously hurt in the road outside.
A former pupil at Chapel-en-le-Frith High School, Mr Smith was a talented footballer who had played for local club Chapel Town FC.

It prompted several comments from friends expressing their 'heartbreak' and sympathy for her loss.
One wrote: 'We are so shocked and so heartbroken, nothing can express how deeply sorry we are.'
