A contractor who had come to 3409 Garfield Ave. to bid on a job found the victim shot and bleeding on the sidewalk about 2:45 p.m. He called 911.The victim had been shot multiple times and died after arriving at the hospital by ambulance, said Officer Darin Snapp. He said it appeared the man had been shot on 34th Street and had made his way to the Garfield location before he collapsed.
No witnesses to the crime have been found, but the police cordoned off several blocks on Garfield and were questioning neighbors. The homicide may be related to a robbery in the same neighborhood, where the victim reported that he shot a robber in self-defense, Snapp said.
