    PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — A man was found with apparent gunshot wounds early in Tuesday morning in Peoria.

    According to Peoria Police spokesperson Semone Roth, officers went to the 2500 block of West Garden Street just before 3:40 a.m. after two alerts from the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system indicated a total of 20 rounds had been fired.

    When they arrived, they found a 31-year-old man who had suffered several gunshot wounds, she said. Despite efforts to save him, the man died at the scene, she said.

    The name of the man and the manner of death will be released later by the Peoria County Coroner’s office.
