UPDATE: Buffalo Police have identified the 22-year-old deceased man as Joseph Tabor of Cheektowaga.

Our breaking news photographer saw the medical examiner at the scene, taking pictures of the man's body, covered by a white sheet.

AMR dispatchers tell 7 Eyewitness News they were called to the scene, but no one was taken to the hospital.

Just before 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, that same Buffalo police spokesman confirmed the shooting was deadly.

Detectives had many yellow evidence markers set up.  They were taking pictures and video of the scene.

Investigators were seen searching for more evidence, measuring the area where the shooting happened.

There is no word about any suspect or arrest.
