A homicide investigation is underway in Plano after a person was discovered dead from a gunshot wound in an alley behind a home Tuesday evening.
Plano police officers and Plano Fire-Rescue crews were called to the 900 block of Middle Cove Drive at approximately 5:30 p.m. following reports of a shooting in the area.
When first responders arrived on scene they found the victim lying in an alley with a gunshot wound. The individual was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have not yet publicly identified the victim while family notifications are still being made. No information regarding a suspect or possible motive has been released as of Wednesday morning and no arrests have been announced.
