Buffalo Police are investigating an early morning shooting not far from the University at Buffalo's South Campus.

A 31-year-old Buffalo man was struck by gunfire just outside the door of Jim's Steak Out on Main Street between Lisbon and High Gate avenues. The victim, who appeared to be targeted, was driven to the Erie County Medical Center in a private vehicle. His initial condition was listed as critical.

Police continue to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call or text the confidential TIPCALL line at 716-847-2255.

Avery began his broadcasting career as a disc jockey for WRUB, the University at Buffalo’s student-run radio station.
