PHOENIX — A man was found dead by officers responding to a shooting call in Phoenix early Tuesday, authorities said.

Officers got the scene just west of Interstate 17 between Camelback and Indian School roads around 12:40 p.m. and found an unresponsive man, the Phoenix Police Department said.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Initially, no signs of trauma were located on the victim by both Phoenix Police and Phoenix Fire personnel. As the investigation progressed signs of trauma were located,” Sgt. Robert Scherer said in a press release.
