Tragedy struck the streets of Minneapolis as police responded to a fatal shooting on the 900 block of Newton Ave. N, the grim scene unfolding Tuesday evening when shots were fired, leaving a life abruptly cut short. The Minneapolis Police Department is now turning to the local community, looking for eyewitnesses or anyone who might have captured crucial evidence on camera to step forward, according to a post on their official Facebook page.
In their appeal for public assistance, investigators are casting a wide net seeking information, particularly between 5:50 p.m. and 6:50 p.m., when the incident occurred, anything out of the ordinary could hold the key to resolving the case, and they are specifically asking for any suspicious activity noticed, any footage captured of someone running through or a 2024, gray, BMW Sedan in the vicinity.
The department has laid out multiple avenues for citizens to share information, including direct contact with MPD's Homicide Division, notably Sergeant Andrew Schroeder, who can be reached at 612-475-1438 or via email at [email protected]. Furthermore, tips can also be directed to the Minneapolis Police Tip Line through email at [email protected], or by leaving a voicemail at 612-673-5845, and for those wishing to remain anonymous CrimeStoppers provides a secure option at www.CrimeStoppersMN.org or by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
