Minneapolis police are searching for the person who fatally shot a man on the city's North Side late Wednesday.

Police went to the 2300 block of N. 4th Street in the Hawthorne neighborhood about 11:15 p.m. after a ShotSpotter activation indicated gunfire in the area.

Officers arrived and found a man in his 40s inside a running vehicle with gunshot wounds, said police spokesman Garrett Parten.

Police and paramedics unsuccessfully attempted life-saving efforts and the man died at the scene, Parten said.

The man's name has not been released. His death was the 16th homicide in Minneapolis this year, according to a Star Tribune database.

Investigators canvassed the area and collected evidence from the scene, Parten said.

No one has been arrested.
