YOUNGSTOWN - Detectives are investigating a shooting on Youngstown's South Side that left one man dead and another wounded.

Police say the department's ShotSpotter system detected the several shots were fired near the 3200 block of South Avenue just before midnight Thursday.

Officers say they found the body of a man in a parking lot.

Police say another gunshot victim arrived at Mercy Health hospital with wounds described as not life-threatening.

Investigators have not yet released the identity of either man, other than to say the victims are black males in their 30's.
