Fort Dodge police are investigating a homicide after a man was shot and killed on the city’s west side Friday night, according to Capt. Ryan Gruenberg.

Police were called to the 1300 block of A Street West at 8:06 p.m. for a report of a man who had been shot.

Officers and paramedics with the Fort Dodge Fire Department found the man at a brown house that neighbors the Tom Thumb Drive Inn restaurant.

Paramedics performed life-saving measures on the victim, but were unsuccessful.

Gruenberg was not sure if the man had been shot once or multiple times.

Officers secured the area with crime scene tape before 9 p.m.

Police continued the investigation Friday night and planned to review surveillance footage available through nearby businesses.

The Webster County Medical Examiner arrived on scene sometime after 9 p.m. to begin a death investigation.

The identity of the man was unavailable by press time.

Webster County sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene also. The deputies later handled one domestic disturbance call in the city while Fort Dodge police were working at the shooting scene.
