The Minneapolis Police Department is reaching out to the public for assistance in a year-old downtown Minneapolis assault case that led to a fatality. In their call for aid, they've published images of a person of interest—a call echoed in their recent social media post.
Officials have provided little in the way of details surrounding the assault that took place in May of the previous year, but what is clear is the gravity of the aftermath: someone's death. The MPD, in its earnest quest for justice, has opened up several channels through which to submit tips, with an assurance of anonymity for those who wish it.
Citizens with any knowledge of the person shown in the provided photos are urged to contact the MPD directly via email at [email protected] or leave a voicemail at 612-673-5845. CrimeStoppers is another avenue for those seeking to remain anonymous, reachable at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or through their website at www.CrimeStoppersMN.org.
When providing information, the MPD has asked that individuals remember to reference the case number, 24-117836. The weight of this case is felt not only by the MPD but also by a community that has witnessed its share of unsolved violence. A city waits, as the hunt for answers continues—answers that could come from any one of us.
