“We believe it happened several blocks up the street,” Toler said, noting several shell casings were found in that vicinity.
A witness said Ellis was involved in a shootout with another vehicle up the street and then crashed.
"It was a big thump and it sounded like something was coming off the bridge it was very loud and all of a sudden it stopped," said Marcie Kemmler.
Paramedics took Ellis to Allegheny General Hospital in the North Side but he died at 1 a.m.
The fatal shooting happened hours after a shooting several blocks away at Dickson Street and Shadeland Avenue; a man showed up at Allegheny General with a gunshot wound to the arm while police were on the scene.
Police have not said whether the shootings are related and continue to investigate.
