A 39-year-old man was fatally shot in Cleveland's Public Square on Sunday night.

According to police, officers responded to gunshots in the area of 50 Public Square at approximately 11:54 p.m. Upon arriving, officers were flagged down by a group of people pointing out a male down on the ground. Officers proceeded to perform aid to the male victim, who had suffered gunshot wounds.

The victim was transported to MetroHealth Medical Center by EMS and was pronounced deceased, with the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner since identifying him as Casanova A. Mack. The incident is being investigated as a homicide.
