MINNEAPOLIS — A man died Friday after being shot in Uptown, Minneapolis, according to the MPD.
On Sunday, the man was identified as 21-year-old Vintrez Johnson, of Minneapolis. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner determined Johnson died from injuries suffered due to multiple gunshot wounds.
The shooting happened on the 2900 block of Freemont Avenue around 9 p.m. Friday on a report of gunfire, the department said in a release.
Upon arrival, the officers found the man, now identified as Johnson, suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Despite medical care from the officers and EMS, Johnson died at the Hennepin County Medical Center.
According to the MPD, preliminary information suggests the man was outside when he was shot.
The department said it found evidence of a shooting near the intersection of W 29th and Freemont Ave S. A building on that corner seemingly had multiple windows damaged by gunfire, as did a vehicle across the street.
There have not been any arrests in the case.
