St. Paul police are looking for a shooting suspect after a man died in a second floor office in the building that houses the restaurant, W.A. Frost & Company. 


Police say the man was found with apparent gunshot wounds after 4 p.m. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. 


As squad cars blocked the intersections of a stretch of Selby Avenue between Virginia Street and Western Avenue, people were evacuated from the large historic building and moved across the street. The neighborhood a few blocks from the St. Paul Cathedral is popular with restaurant, coffeehouse and bar-goers.


Some businesses decided to close for a time, police said.


"This neighborhood is a very safe neighborhood. People can feel confident coming down here," said St. Paul police spokesperson Sgt. Mike Ernster. 


"This was an isolated, non-random incident."


Police are asking anyone with information leading to the suspect to contact them. 


The Ramsey County Medical Examiner is working to determine an exact cause of death.
