The Alexandria Police Department is investigating the death of a man who was apparently dumped outside a Virginia hospital early Wednesday morning.
Police responded to the Inova Alexandria Hospital at 3:03 a.m. following a report of a man found on the ground outside of one of the hospital’s entrances, a news release said. Hospital staff tried lifesaving measures on the man, who had been shot several times, but he died from his injuries.

Police are asking anyone who sees the vehicle to call 911 and alert their local police department.
Anyone with information on the investigation is encouraged to call Detective Stephen Riley of the Alexandria Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 703-746-6225.
