A man is dead after a shooting in St. Paul’s North End neighborhood, marking the city’s 16th homicide this year, according to police.

The victim was dropped off at Regions Hospital in St. Paul about 5:30 a.m. with at least one gunshot wound, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, public information officer for the St. Paul Police Department, where the man later died.

Shortly afterward, police learned that a two-story house at Sycamore and Jackson streets was potentially the scene of the shooting. Investigators cordoned off the house with police tape while the department’s forensic team processed the scene.

Theresa Kapaun, who lives nearby, said a man in his 20s lives at the house, adding that his vehicle was towed from the residence Sunday morning.

Police are interviewing potential witnesses, including the people who dropped the victim off at the hospital, Ernster said, but said investigators are asking anyone else with information to contact them.

“We need the public’s help,” he said. “One of the biggest roadblocks is that people don’t want to talk to us.”

He asked anyone with information to call the department’s homicide unit at 651-266-5650 or 1-888-ATF-GUNS.
