A 19-year-old man was listed in critical condition Sunday night following a shooting earlier that day in McKeesport.

Detectives from the Allegheny County Police Department are investigating after the shooting that occurred around 2:36 p.m. Sunday on the 2900 block of Jenny Lind Street.

Lt. Venerando Costa said the victim, who has not been identified, suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local trauma hospital by McKeesport Ambulance Rescue Service.

Costa said detectives have determined the victim was a front seat passenger in his own vehicle, a grey Ford Taurus. He said the vehicle was being driven by a 20-year-old male and a 13-year-old male was in the rear seat. Neither of them has been identified.
