A gunshot victim was knocking on doors and yelling for help early Sunday in Dayton.

Police responded just after 3 a.m. to the 3800 block of Cornell Drive.

“Somebody, it’s a man, he just came to my door and he’s falling down. I think he’s bleeding, I think he’s shot. He’s yelling ‘help.’ He’s outside right now,” the caller told dispatchers. “There’s a lot of blood.”

While the victim was found on Cornell Drive, police determined he was shot two-tenths of a mile away in the 3900 block of Necco Avenue, according to a police call log.
