A man was found shot to death at a luxury high-rise apartment in downtown Los Angeles Sunday night and police said he might have been killed during a possible shootout inside a unit.

The incident was reported around 6:30 p.m. at 1000 W. 8th St., Los Angeles police officials told KTLA.

Responding officers found a 30-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives later recovered multiple shell casings inside an apartment unit, indicating a possible shootout, Lt. Ryan Rabbett told KTLA.

A round went into a neighboring unit, but no one else was injured during the shooting, Rabbett added.

Authorities were still processing the scene hours later. They are reviewing surveillance video and hoping to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or what led up to it.

Video from the scene showed police and fire responding to the apartment, which is near the entrance of the 110 Freeway.

Two men were seen on video being taken into custody, but police have not elaborated on any arrests.
