Police and medics responded just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 1600 block of Dyre Street where they found a male victim lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the neck.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim's name is not known at this time, but police believe he is in his mid to late 20s.
Police followed a trail of blood, half a block east, to the 5100 block of Darrah Street where they found three shell casings.
It appears the victim was able to run or walk away after being shot before collapsing onto the sidewalk, police say.
Investigators are hoping private surveillance cameras will help catch the shooter.
