Police say a person was shot and killed on Savannah’s eastside Saturday evening.
About 6:45 p.m., officers responded to Chisholm Street and Clars Avenue on reports of shots fired, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman. There, they found a male who had been shot to death, Miller said.
Forensics officers and violent crimes detectives were called to the scene, and a homicide investigation was in its early stages Saturday night, Miller said.
The victim’s identity was not released Saturday pending notification of next of kin.
