Around 1:10 a.m. Thursday, officers were dispatched in response to a reported shooting in an apartment complex on the 1900 block of Fountainview Court, located off East Livingston Avenue, on the East Side.
Police found a 27-year-old man who had been shot. That man, who had not yet been identified as of mid-afternoon Thursday, was rushed in critical condition to Mount Carmel East hospital, where he died at 3:11 a.m.
