Police arrived and found a man lying in the yard suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, said Sgt. Mike Ernster.

Officers rendered medical aid until paramedics got to the scene and pronounced the man dead, Ernster said.

Investigators canvassed the area in the search for evidence, witnesses and the shooter. No arrests have been made, Ernster said.
