The circumstances around the shooting were under investigation. It's unclear where it actually happened, but about five minutes away from police headquarters — on Northwest 17th Avenue and Northeast 3rd Court — flyers from the police department were seen in the neighborhood about a shooting that happened at around 3 p.m.

The SUV at the scene had a logo printed on it for a company called Myle, which offers non-emergency medical transportation for patients.

Officials have not released the victim's identity.
