Greenville police are investigating a homicide after a man was fatally shot early Thursday morning.
Authorities say officers responded to the 300 block of Muscadine Street around 2 a.m. after the department’s gunshot detection system alerted officers to possible gunfire.
When officers arrived, they found James Scott lying in the roadway with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Scott was conscious and provided officers with preliminary information about the shooting.
He was transported by Pafford Emergency Medical Services to Delta Health Medical Center, where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators are working to determine what led to the shooting and identify the person responsible.
No arrests have been reported, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Greenville Police Department or submit a tip through Crime Stoppers.
