Oklahoma City -

A young man died Friday after an overnight shooting.

24-year-old Justin Palazzo was reportedly gunned down inside his car, causing him to crash into his garage.

Oklahoma City Police told sister station KOCO's Naveen Dhaliwal that they responded to a call of shots fired in the 200 block of Northwest 94th Street just before 1:30 a.m. Friday.

Justin was found dead inside his car.

Police believe shots were fired into his car, causing him to drive through a neighbor's yard before hitting his own garage door.

Although police are still investigating, they are not ruling out the possibility that this may have been a drive-by shooting.

Justin's father, Richard Palazzo, told KOCO that Justin was two weeks shy of his 25th birthday.

Richard described Justin as a "...kind, wonderful son that likes humanity, that likes to sing, that likes to help his fellow man, that wants to be the best father for his daughter."

Justin is also survived by his five-year-old daughter, Kelsey, and a younger brother.

As of Friday night, Oklahoma City Police had no suspects in this case.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Oklahoma City Police Homicide Tip Line at 405-297-1200.
