MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Police say they are investigating a fatal hit-and-run involving a motorcycle Tuesday afternoon as a possible homicide.
According to Minneapolis police, officers responded to the 3100 block of Queen Avenue North just after 2:30 p.m. where a man was found laying on the ground not breathing and without a pulse. Officers performed CPR until paramedics arrived, and were able to restore a pulse. The man was rushed to North Memorial Clinic, where he later died an hour later.
Police say witness accounts and surveillance video of the fatal incident indicate that the contact between the two vehicles "may have been intentional."
Late Tuesday a vehicle was recovered that police believe may be the one driven by the suspect. There was no one inside.
"I don't know if the vehicle is reported stolen or not," Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder told reporters, "but us having the vehicle is helpful because we're able to run forensics on it."
Elder said homicide investigators will be working the case all night.
At this point no arrests have been reported. If indeed the case is determined to be homicide, it will be the 49th this year in Minneapolis.
