MINNEAPOLIS — Police are investigating after a man was shot and killed Monday in Minneapolis' Phillips West neighborhood.

When officers arrived, they found a 24-year-old man lying in a yard with multiple gunshot wounds. Police say the the man died at the scene.
“It’s extremely difficult as police officers to see the results of this violence day in and day out, to see young people who have been killed on the street,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “These are tragedies that must stop.”
No arrests have been made but police say they did recover a gun at the scene.
