When police officers arrived, they too found a man in the street. He was also taken to a hospital where he later died.
Thomas Valera lives in the area and is now keeping a close eye on his grandson.
"I just bought my grandson out here to come to the store and he was afraid. He said, 'Grandpa we saw this on the news last night are you sure we're okay?'" said Valera.
In the Minneapolis shooting, officers say that there was a "physical altercation between the victim and the suspect. The suspect shot the victim and then fled the scene in a car," according to a news release.
"There needs to be something done to fix it so people can come downtown and feel safe," said Jacob Toledo who owns several restaurants and bars in downtown Minneapolis.
