Police responded to reports of a man suffering from gunshot wounds in the parking lot of an apartment complex just before 11 p.m on Saturday.
When officers arrived at 334 East 14th St. on Hamilton Mountain, they found the victim bleeding on the ground. He died around 11:30 after paramedics rushed the man to Hamilton General Hospital.
