Man dies after party escalates to gunfire in north Minneapolis
A man is dead and police are searching for suspects following a shooting early Saturday in north Minneapolis.
According to police, officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation just before 6 a.m. in the 1700 block of 26th Avenue N. They found a man with life-threatening wounds and gave him aid until emergency personnel arrived to help.
Despite those efforts, the man died at the scene. His name and the cause of death will be released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner in coming days.
Investigators believe the shooting happened when a fight at a nearby party escalated, spilling onto the street before gunfire rang out.
“Today, tragically, another family has been ripped apart by gun violence,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said in a statement. “Our investigators are committed to solving this crime and giving a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves.”
One man was arrested at the scene for disorderly conduct, but investigators were still looking into whether he played a role in the shooting.
Anyone with information about the incident was asked to contact Minneapolis police.
Minneapolis police are investigating after a man was shot to death outside a North Side gas station in the middle of the day.
The shooting occurred about 11:45 a.m. Monday outside Full Stop Gas & Food in the 1800 block of Lowry Avenue N., The Minneapolis Police Department said.
Officers arrived to find a man critically wounded. Emergency responders took the man to North Memorial Health Hospital, where he died.
The victim’s identity has not been released, and police have announced no arrests.
“Words were exchanged, and the second man pulled out a firearm” and opened fire, a police statement read.
“This senseless act of gun violence in broad daylight is unacceptable and shocking,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said in a statement.
There have been 69 homicides in the city so far this year, according to a Minnesota Star Tribune database. That compares with 61 at this time last year.
The victim said she didn’t know her attacker, according to the charges.
