ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando Police Department reports a man was fatally shot in Orlando, sustaining multiple gunshot wounds.

  • Man shot to death, body found in vacant lot
  • Police have not yet ID'd the victim, a suspect

The deadly shooting happened on the 600 block of Columbia Street Tuesday evening. Officers responded to the scene around 6:15 p.m. after they received a tip from an anonymous caller.

A 35 to 40-year-old man was found lying in a vacant lot. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Watch Commander Lt. Jonathan R. Bigelow.

Investigators found that the man was shot multiple times.

Witnesses in the area said they don't know what happened, but they told Spectrum News off-camera they heard shots sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. 

The investigation is active and ongoing. Officers say they have not yet identified the shooting victim or a suspect.
