April 30, 2025 (MINNEAPOLIS) Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara released details of a tragic shooting that that left two men and one woman dead, and a man and a woman injured.
On April 29, 2025, at approximately 11:55 p.m., 3rd Precinct officers responded to two ShotSpotter activations on the 1500 block of East 25th Street, followed by a third activation nearby. 911 callers also reported gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, officers located one adult male on the sidewalk near the alley with life-threatening gunshot wounds. Nearby, officers discovered two men and two women inside a vehicle next to the alley, all suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. Officers immediately rendered medical aid to all five individuals. Despite their efforts, the man on the sidewalk and a man and woman inside the vehicle died at the scene. The remaining man and woman were transported to Hennepin Healthcare Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Preliminary information indicates this was a targeted shooting and may be gang related.
Approximately one hour later, 3rd Precinct officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation and multiple 911 reports of shots fired on the 3000 block of 15th Avenue South. Evidence of gunfire was located. At approximately 1:15 a.m., a man arrived at Abbott Northwestern Hospital with an apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
