MINNEAPOLIS — One man is dead after a party escalated to gunfire early Saturday morning, according to Minneapolis police.
Minneapolis officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation on the 1700 block of 26 Ave N around 6 a.m. Upon arrival, they found a man with life-threatening injuries.
Officers provided medical aid until EMS arrived, but the man died at the scene, according to a Minneapolis police press release. After investigating, officers believe that a fight broke out at a nearby party and spilled out into the street, escalating to gunfire.
Minneapolis police said upon arrival, they arrested a man for disorderly conduct as he was still fighting and refusing to leave. It is unclear if this man was involved in the shooting.
“Today, tragically, another family has been ripped apart by gun violence,” Chief O’Hara said. “Our investigators are committed to solving this crime and giving a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves.”
