Police responded to the area after a call of shots fired. The man was found with bullet wounds to his torso and arm.

He was treated at the scene and transported to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.

The man's identity is being withheld pending notification of his family. He was not a resident at the apartment complex, police said.

There is no information about a suspect and no one was found after a search of the area this morning, police said.
