MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A 24-year-old St. Cloud man is dead after a shooting early Saturday morning.

Police say it happened just after 3:30 a.m. in an alley on the 300 block of 4th Street South. A 911 caller reported someone with a gun in the area, and officers arrived at the scene to find a man suffering from a gunshot wound inside of a vehicle.

The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
