St. Paul police are investigating three separate fatal shootings in the city Sunday.
In the first, a man in his 30s was brought to Regions Hospital by private vehicle just after midnight with at least one gunshot wound; he died a short time later. Authorities said it appeared the shooting happened in a parking ramp on the 400 block of Jackson Street.
"A motive in this case has not been determined, although investigators do not believe it was a random shooting," police said in a news release.
About three hours later, just after 3 a.m., officers responding to a 911 call found a man in his 20s with a gunshot wound in a vehicle parked on Raspberry Island. He later died at Regions Hospital. Authorities said it appears the shooting happened during a robbery.

There were no arrests in either case at last report.
At about 8:45 p.m., officers went to the intersection of Seventh Street East and Mounds Boulevard on a report of shots fired, according to a news release. There, they found a male believed to be in his late teens inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds. He was taken to Regions Hospital, where he later died.
Police said it appears the shooting may have been connected to a road rage incident, though it’s unclear how the victim was involved. No arrests have been made.
Authorities asked anyone with information about the shootings to call (651) 266-5650. Police said the shootings are the 19th, 20th and 21st homicides in the city this year.
