A Savannah man is dead after a Sunday night shooting at Savannah.

Around 7 p.m. on Sunday, Savannah Police Department officers responded to a shooting that took place on the 500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, a media release said. Once officers arrived on the scene, 32-year-old Errol Gordon was found with life-threating shooting injuries and later died from his injuries.
