February 18, 2025 (MINNEAPOLIS) Police Chief Brian O’Hara announced today that the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) has arrested two adults and two juveniles in connection with a violent crime spree on February 11th that left two people injured by gunfire. During the early morning hours of February 11th, officers responded to six separate incidents within approximately two hours. These included two shootings, two burglaries, a carjacking at gunpoint, and a shots-fired incident.
Through diligent investigative efforts, MPD identified the suspects and coordinated their simultaneous arrests. On February 17th, at approximately 11:30 AM, investigators conducted a surveillance operation in the 2400 block of Bloomington Avenue. The operation resulted in the apprehension of four suspects and the execution of search warrants, which led to the recovery of additional potential evidence.
Chief O'Hara said that MPD will be presenting a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney's office for consideration of charges.
"The MPD remains steadfast in its mission to hold violent offenders accountable and ensure justice for victims," O'Hara said. "Our investigators have meticulously built this case based on evidence and facts, working in coordination with prosecuting authorities, and we are confident all those responsible for terrorizing residents during this violent crime spree are in custody."
The arrested individuals include a 34-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, and two 17-year-old boys.
