WASHINGTON — A recruit assigned to Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill., died Wednesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Lake County Coroner’s Office said Friday.

Kayshawn Wilkerson, an 18-year-old assigned to the Recruit Training Command, was from Ocala, Fla. Naval Station Great Lakes fire and police departments responded to a call Wednesday at about 1:45 p.m. to a report of a gunshot victim on a firing range, the coroner’s office said in a statement. First responders found Wilkerson with a gunshot wound and pronounced dead at the scene.

The preliminary autopsy report from the coroner indicates Wilkerson died from a gunshot wound to the head, consistent with it being self-inflicted.

“The Navy is providing full support to the family, friends, and shipmates affected by this tragic loss,” said Lt. Beau Nickerson, a spokesman for Naval Service Training Command.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Lake County Coroner’s Office are investigating Wilkerson’s death.

Naval Station Great Lakes is the service’s largest training installation and the home of the Navy’s only boot camp, according to its website.
