Man fatally shot on St. Paul's West Side, police say
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Police are searching for the shooter who killed a man early Monday morning in St. Paul's West Side neighborhood.
St. Paul Police Sgt. Mike Ernster said a 911 caller reported seeing the victim on the ground at about midnight on South Clinton Avenue near Congress Street East.
Fire paramedics rushed to the scene, but the victim was soon pronounced dead. On Wednesday, the Ramsey County medical examiner identified the victim as 23-year-old David Isaac.
"Solid, working-class neighborhood with great people in it. They were surprised to hear a death happened there," Ernster said.
Ernster says it's too early to tell if this was connected to other shootings in the city. Investigators are looking for witnesses and surveillance camera footage in the area.
Police say this is St. Paul's 29th homicide of 2023.
