The St. Paul Police Department is investigating a homicide at an auto body shop in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood across the street from Johnson High School.
Police responded to a report of a shooting about 3:40 p.m. Tuesday at the 1300 block of Arcade Street, according to police spokesman Steve Linders.
Officers found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
No one was in custody Tuesday night and police do not believe it was a random shooting.
"These are tragedies for everyone involved," Linders said. "We're going to do everything we can to find the people responsible."
The victim appeared to be a man in his mid-20s, according to dispatch audio. He was shot seven times.
A caller said no one saw anything, according to dispatch.
After police cleared the auto shop, they told dispatch that Farnsworth Aerospace — a nearby school for children in pre-K through fourth grade — was let out for the day.
