Bridgeport (AP) - Police in Bridgeport say they're looking for suspects in a fatal shooting, the second in the city in as many days.

Police haven't released the victim's name yet. They say the man was found lying in a pool of blood shortly before 6 a.m. Wednesday in front of a building on Capitol Avenue.

Officials believe the man died from a single bullet wound to the torso. The chief medical examiner's office will be performing an autopsy to try to determine exactly how he died.

Authorities don't know what the motive was.

The killing comes a day after a man was fatally shot at a city public housing complex. That victim's name also hasn't been released.
