A man was fatally shot in St. Paul late Monday, Feb. 2, marking the second homicide in the city in the past three days.

Officers found a 24-year-old man inside a vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds when they arrived on the 100 block of Oneida Street at about 10 p.m., a statement from St. Paul police said.

Police went to the scene on a call of shots fired. They attempted life-saving measures, but “the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the statement said.

Investigators were working to determine what led to the shooting and who was responsible, police said.

Police have not released the name of the victim, nor have they said if the death is related to a fatal shooting that happened Saturday in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood.

Christ Hae, 25, was shot several times on Jan. 31 inside a residence on the 900 block of York Avenue, and died at the scene.

No arrests have been made in either shooting. The deaths are the first two homicides in St. Paul this year.
