Police in Hamilton Township, New Jersey are investigating an early morning shooting that left a man dead Saturday morning.

When officers arrived on scene, they found Dominic Neal,  lying near the front steps of the home, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Neal was transported to Capital Health Regional Medical Center's Fuld Campus, where he was pronounced dead just before 9:00 a.m.

Police spoke to the resident of the home, an off duty corrections officers, who said Neal approached him early that morning as he went out to smoke on his front porch.
