A man was found shot inside a vehicle in a south Minneapolis alley Friday evening, the city's second homicide of the year, police said.

Shortly before 10 p.m., police responded to a report of shots fired near 36th Street and Clinton Avenue S. When they arrived, they found the man in the vehicle in an alley on the 3600 block of Clinton.

Emergency medical responders quickly determined that the man appeared to have been shot at least once, police said.

Police detained a number of people at a nearby residence to determine whether they were involved, said police spokesman Sgt. Bill Palmer.

Police are asking anyone with information about the case to call 612-692-8477.

The victim's name and the cause of his death will be released by the Hennepin County medical examiner's office.
