About a quarter of a mile away from where the gunfire was detected, police found a car that had crashed into a fence on Hamilton Street with the driver suffering from a gunshot wound to the back. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.



The victim was a man in his 30s but his name was not made public.

No other information was immediately available.
