Minneapolis police were investigating an apparent homicide in the Willard-Hay neighborhood on the city's North Side Tuesday afternoon, a police spokesman said.

The male victim, whose name and age haven't been released, was found about 12:20 p.m., slumped behind the wheel of a car in the 1000 block of Sheridan Avenue N., according to the spokesman, Scott Seroka. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Seroka said. He had no further details about the incident.

The death, which police are treating as a homicide, would be the Minneapolis' second slaying of the year.

In the first homicide of the year, a 20-year-old man died after being shot at a New Year's Eve party in Dinkytown.
