Man shot dead at east valley apartments, police say

A man was fatally wounded in a shooting Thursday evening at an east valley apartment complex, according to Metro Police.

Gunshots blasted about 6:30 p.m. in the back of a fourplex building in the 3400 block of Center Drive, near Charleston Boulevard and Palm Street, homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said. 

The victim, a white man in his early 30s, died at University Medical Center, Spencer said late Thursday.

The victim and a woman were talking outside the complex when the gunman approached and fired multiple rounds before leaving on foot, Spencer said.

The probe was in its preliminary stages and a possible motive hadn't been established, Spencer said. 

Additional information was not immediately available.
