KDKA has learned that a male victim, identified as 19-year-old Michael Arnold, died at an area hospital after being transported in critical condition.

Pittsburgh Police say they received a 911 call around 1 a.m. Monday of a person having been shot in the 5100 block of Kent Way.

When they got to the scene, officers found a male with multiple gunshot wounds. Medics took him to nearby Children's Hospital, but he would die a short time later.

"I heard the sirens and that woke me up," neighbor Daniel Servansky said. "Didn't really expect it to happen around here."

He said he's never had any trouble in his neighborhood in the time he's lived there.

"We've lived here for a year and a half, and usually it's pretty quiet around here," Servansky said on his front porch.

Around 9:40 Sunday night, Pittsburgh Police received a ShotSpotter alert for a shooting in the 100 block of Penfort Street in Northview Heights.

There, officers found a male with a gunshot wound to the head. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office identifies him as 56-year-old Kenneth Wilson.
