A man was shot dead in the Iron Triangle area of Richmond on Thursday evening and police said his killer remained on the run Friday.

Around 6 p.m., police responded to an activation of the city’s ShotSpotter system, which recorded numerous gunshots on the 100 block of West Macdonald Avenue, said Lt. Andre Hill, a police spokesman.

The first officers on the scene found the victim, a young, unidentified male, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, Hill said.

Medics tried to save the man, but he died at the scene. Hill said the victim was on foot at the time of the shooting.

No description of the suspect was immediately released, but Hill said detectives were following up on leads in the investigation.

Hill asked anyone with information to contact homicide detectives at (510) 620-6673.
