Minneapolis police told KARE 11 that officers responded around 10:20 p.m. Sunday to a report of a shooting and found two people with gunshot wounds inside a car on the 2800 block of Stevens Avenue South. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment. Police said the woman’s injuries were considered life-threatening, and the man’s injuries were not. Detectives are working to determine a motive and have not released any suspect information.
Neighborhood context
The stretch of Lake Street and Stevens Avenue has drawn attention in recent months after a series of shootings and an encampment near the Midtown Greenway that city officials later cleared, the Star Tribune reported. Local coverage has chronicled several violent incidents along that corridor and highlighted broader concerns about public safety in parts of south Minneapolis.
Police response
Investigators are asking anyone with information, including video or eyewitness accounts, to contact Minneapolis police as they continue to process the scene. The department reiterated that no arrests had been made as of Monday morning, according to reporting by KARE 11.
