May 13, 2025 (MINNEAPOLIS) – Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara announced that a young man has died following a shooting early this morning.
At approximately 2:20 a.m., 5th Precinct officers responded to reports of shots fired on the 2700 block of Pillsbury Avenue South. Upon arrival, officers found a man in his late teens with a life-threatening gunshot wound lying next to a vehicle. Officers immediately administered lifesaving aid until EMS arrived.
