Police were called out to the first block of Sanhican Drive around 2:30 p.m. after one 911 caller reported a man wounded inside a house. The address identified in the call was one of many vacant homes on the residential street.
“When officers arrived, they found an individual who had been shot,” Lt. Steve Varn said.
The man, whom police had not positively identified last night, was pronounced dead at the scene, Varn said.No arrests have been made in the case. Four young men were being held in the back seats of several police and sheriff’s vehicles at the scene yesterday, but authorities did not say whether they would be questioned as witnesses or suspects.
