Officers arrived to find a man with several gunshot wounds lying in the street. Officers and paramedics worked to provide medical aid; the man was taken to an area hospital, where he died later Saturday.

There was no information Saturday night on the identity or age of the victim, and the suspect is described only as an "adult male."

This is the city's first homicide in 2019. The case, Colley said, remained under investigation Saturday night.
