It's been a full year since the streets of Minneapolis became the scene of a violent tragedy, yet the wound on the community remains as fresh as ever. The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) continues to ask for the public's assistance in unfolding the mystery behind the homicide of Patrick Henderson, who was fatally shot near the corner of 2nd St N and 26th Av N on July 30, 2023. With a crowd present during the incident, the hope is that witnesses will come forward to provide valuable information.
Henderson, who was only 26, lost his life in the early morning hours. On the one-year anniversary of this callous act, investigators are doubling down on their efforts to gather tips from the community. In their appeal, MPD urges that, if "you or anyone you know was in this vicinity at approximately 4:25 a.m. on July 30, 2023, and you have any information regarding this incident, please reach out," according to a statement on the Minneapolis Police Department's Facebook page.
The details surrounding the shooting are sparse, with the number of eyes that could have seen something, anything, remaining silent thus far.
