The incident happened at The Birches apartment complex in the 1700 block of Birch Trail Circle around 6:35 p.m.

Officers arrived at the scene to find 27-year-old Dion Rayshon Tynes inside a parked vehicle with several gunshot wounds to his body. He died as a result of his injuries.

The vehicle was parked at the rental office of The Birches, where Tynes was a resident.
