Detectives are investigating a shooting death in a St. Paul homeless encampment on Sunday that is the fifth homicide this year in the city.
About 1:15 p.m. Sunday, police officers responded to reports of a shooting at an unsheltered encampment near the 1200 block of Jackson Street, according to a news release from authorities.
When officers arrived, the release says they found several people performing first aid on a man inside a tent with gunshot wounds. Officers took over the lifesaving efforts and called for St. Paul Fire medics. When the medics arrived they pronounced the man dead.
No arrests have been made as detectives investigate what led to the shooting and who the shooter is. Anyone with information is asked to call 651-266-5650.
The Ramsey County medical examiner’s office will identify the victim and determine the exact cause of death.
