A 24-year-old man was fatally shot in St. Cloud early Saturday, police said.
The St. Cloud man had a gunshot wound when he was found by police in the driver's seat of a vehicle in an alley on the 300 block of S. 4th Avenue, Cmdr. Brett Mushatt said in a news release.
Officers administered emergency aid until an ambulance arrived. The victim was taken to St. Cloud Hospital, where he died.
Just after 3:30 a.m., police received a report of a person with a gun. On their way to the scene, officers learned that a man had been shot.
A preliminary investigation showed that a fight had broken out at a party at a nearby apartment. Several people were at the shooting scene, and many fled, including the suspect or suspects, police said.
The incident did not appear to be a random shooting, they said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 320-251-1200.
