CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - Police in Chandler say they are investigating a homicide.

They received multiple 911 calls of shots fired at a residence with number people fleeing from the home around 3 a.m. Sunday.

When officers arrived on scene, they say a 26-year-old man was found lying in the backyard with multiple gunshot wounds.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and police haven't released his name yet.

Investigators have learned there was a party at the residence when an argument broke out and shot were fired.

A man later turned himself into the police department, but it's unclear if he is a suspect in the homicide case.
