CLEVELAND — A 26-year-old man died after a shooting on St. Clair Avenue early Tuesday morning, according to a spokesperson for the Cleveland Police Department.

Police responded at around 12:30 a.m. to Cleveland Clinic-Euclid Hospital for two males, a 34-year-old and a 26-year-old, with gunshot wounds. Upon arrival, the 26-year-old man with gunshot wounds to the legs, back and torso was pronounced dead.

Investigators learned the victims were in a vehicle at 146 St. Clair Avenue when a vehicle pulled up next to them. A man exited the vehicle and shot into their vehicle and drove off, police said.

The victims drove to Euclid Hospital for treatment.

While officers were at the hospital, a large fight connected to the shooting broke out in the waiting area, which prompted the hospital to be placed on lockdown.
