MADISON, Wis. -- Madison police are investigating a fatal shooting on Tuesday night.

Police said a man was shot in the 2000 block of Leland Drive on the city's West Side just after 10 p.m. The victim was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

The Dane County coroner's office identified the victim as Karamee Collins Jr., 17, of Madison.

Investigators said that don't know yet if the victim and the shooter knew each other. Officers were at the scene into the early-morning hours gathering evidence.

This shooting comes one day after police held a press conference to announce they were stepping up their effort to fight growing gun violence in the city.

"It's frightening the volume of shots fired calls we respond to and the number of rounds that are being shot off around innocent people," Police Officer Mike Hanson said after Tuesday night's shooting. "It's something we take very seriously."

Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said that authorities are trying to piece together what happened.

"We have a number of detectives on this case patrolling officers. We are talking with friends, famly, witnesses that may have been on the streets. Again, we are looking for the person that pulled the trigger," said DeSpain.
