MAPLE GROVE, Minn. — Maple Grove police are pursuing what they call "active leads" after a man was found shot inside a vehicle near the intersection of I-94 and Maple Grove Parkway Easter Sunday.
That man was rushed to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries. The man was identified as 61-year-old William Floyd Haire.
A release sent out Sunday evening by police says both the suspect and the victim were inside their vehicles near the intersection of Country Road 30 and Garland Lane North around 3 p.m. when an "altercation" occurred. One party then pulled and fired a weapon, striking the person in the other vehicle.
Both vehicles drove away from the scene. Squads eventually located one of the drivers near the intersection of I-94 and Maple Grove Parkway, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was rushed to a local hospital but did not survive.
On Monday a police spokesman said investigators are pursuing active leads but did not provide details. They are urging anyone with information about the shooting to call 763-494-6246.
