A man is dead Tuesday morning after being shot and then hit by a train.

Birmingham police Sgt. Karl Walker said just after midnight, police received several calls about a shooting on 15th Way Southwest and Pearson Avenue. An officer in the area was flagged down at the scene, and discovered a man in a pickup truck that had been struck by a train.

Walker said the man was shot, possibly multiple times, and tried to flee the scene in his truck. The victim's truck stopped on the railroad tracks, and then was hit by the train.

The victim has only been identified as a young black male. He was pronounced dead at UAB Hospital.

Police collected more than 70 pieces of evidence at the scene. No suspects are in custody.
