St. Paul Police Department Sgt. Mike Ernster said in a news release that the man died Thursday afternoon. No arrests have been announced.
Ernster says officers found the man around 2:30 a.m. on the 800 block of Simcoe Street after someone reported a shooting. He was inside a vehicle that crashed into a yard, and he had suffered bullet wounds to his neck and head.
Fire department medics took the man to Regions Hospital where he died hours later. The Ramsey County medical examiner will release his identity and cause of death after an autopsy.
This marks the 10th homicide in St. Paul this year. There were 15 by this time last year, according to a Star Tribune database.
