Police are investigating a fatal early-morning shooting in St. Paul.
Officers responded to a report from a 911 caller about shots fired and a person on the ground just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in the 1200 block of University Avenue. They found a man lying in the back of an apartment building. He had apparent gunshot injuries, according to police.
St. Paul Fire medics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Officers were looking for witnesses, and police were processing the area for evidence. “Investigators are currently doing the hard work of trying to determine the circumstances of this case, and who is responsible,” Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul police spokesman, said early Tuesday morning.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to call them at 651-266-5650.
Police said they will release the victim’s name after the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office confirms his identity.
