A man was found dead in Fairland Wednesday night about an hour after officers responded to a call in the area about a shooting that left another man wounded, Montgomery County Police said.

Police did not release the identity of the deceased man. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of his death.

No one is in custody in connection with the man’s death or the initial shooting that prompted police to respond shortly before 8 p.m. to the 3400 block of Robey Terrace. That’s where the man was found with a gunshot wound, police said late Wednesday night in a statement.

The shooting victim was wounded near Aston Manor Drive and ran to Robey Terrace, where 911 was called. He was transported to a hospital ā€œalert and conscious,ā€ police said.
