Akron Police are investigating a shooting that left one man dead and another injured Wednesday night along Noah Avenue. 

About 11:30 p.m. Wednesday police responded to the 700 block of Noah on multiple calls about shots fired. There, they found two men inside a car that had crashed into the front porch of a home, both of whom had been shot.

According to the report, the 20-year-old victim was outside of a nearby home when another car drove by and several people from inside the car opened fire. The 20-year-old man was hit several times before he got in his car and tried to drive away, only crashing that car into a neighbor's home. He was pronounced dead on the scene while another man, a 24-year-old, was shot, suffering non-life-threatening injuries. 

Witnesses described the shooters as black males wearing black clothing, but it's unclear how many there were inside the suspect vehicle. 

Anyone with information is asked to call Akron Police.
