PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 20-year-old Portland man died of a gunshot wound early Sunday morning.

Portland police say officers at 2:06 a.m. were clearing a disturbance at northwest Third Avenue and Couch Street when they heard several gunshots from northwest Second Avenue.

Officers spotted several people running from the area and found the wounded man.

He was transported to Oregon Health and Science University but died of his injury.

Police say the fatal shooting appeared to be gang-related.

About a half hour after the shooting, a 23-year-old man walked in to Emanuel Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
