"EMS transported the victim to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries."
Shortly after 8:00pm, the call came in of two people shot in the Bywater neighborhood.

Bringier later said at least one of the victims had died.
"The shooting in the 700 block of Poland has now been updated to a homicide."
