Officers responded to the shooting at an apartment in the 10900 block of East 16th Avenue at about 1:45 a.m. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound.
Police provided emergency medical care to the man until paramedics arrived and took him to a local hospital, where he soon died. While police initially reported another man had been detained, police spokeswoman Sydney Edwards wrote in an email Friday afternoon that no suspects have been arrested or charged in connection with the shooting.
