St. Paul police were investigating a shooting death in the Dayton Bluff neighborhood Sunday night, the city's third in less than 24 hours.
Officers responded to a 911 call at the intersection of E. 7th Street and Mounds Boulevard at about 8:45 p.m. A male in his late teens was transported to Region's Hospital with apparent gunshot wounds where he later died, according to a news release.
Investigators say the shooting may be connected to a road rage incident. No arrests have been made.
The incident followed two fatal shootings early Sunday in separate parts of the city. The first shooting happened in a downtown parking ramp in the 400 block of Jackson Street, police said.
The victim, a man in his 30s, was taken in a private vehicle about 12:15 a.m. to Regions Hospital, where he died. The car had bullet holes in its windshield.
Investigators do not believe the shooting was random.
In the second shooting, police said they found a man with a gunshot wound in a vehicle on Raspberry Island about 3:15 a.m. after a 911 caller reported a robbery and shots fired. The man, who was in his 20s, was taken to Regions Hospital, where he died.
"Based on preliminary information, we believe he was shot during a robbery," said Steve Linders, St. Paul police spokesman.
