A man died after he was found shot in a yard of a home in St. Paul’s Payne-Phalen area Monday night, police said.
Someone called officers just before 8:30 p.m. to a home in the 800 block of York Avenue and reported a person had been shot.
Officers located a man with apparent gunshot injuries in the yard and provided first aid, but St. Paul Fire medics pronounced him dead at the scene, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman.
Police did not immediately announce an arrest, and said they’re looking for evidence and witnesses. Investigators are asking anyone with information to call them at 651-266-5650.
The police department plans to release the victim’s name after it’s confirmed by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The homicide was the 14th of the year in St. Paul. There were 17 as of this time last year.
