A man was killed in an early morning shooting in St. Paul’s Payne-Phalen area.

Police responded to the 800 block of East Maryland Avenue just after 1:30 a.m. on reports of shots fired and someone having been shot, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman.

Officers found a man with multiple gunshot injuries and St. Paul Fire Department medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police searched the area for possible suspects, whom they didn’t find, Ernster said. The police department has been looking for evidence and witnesses, and investigators are working to determine what happened and who is responsible.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to call them at 651-266-5650.

The police department plans to release the victim’s name after the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office confirms his identity.
