A man was found shot to death on the lawn outside Martin Luther King High School in East Germantown Sunday night. Someone called 911 to report the body around 11:30 p.m., but investigators believe it had been there for an hour already.

Investigators said the victim is in his 20s or 30s. They found three spent shell casings near his body. Police Inspector D.F. Pace said the victim doesn’t appear to have any connection to the school. 

Around the time police think the shooting occurred, a 19-year-old walked into Einstein Medical Center and said he was shot in the leg just two blocks from the high school. Investigators are trying to figure out if the two shootings are related.
