A 36-year-old man is dead after an overnight shooting in Duluth, and a 26-year-old man is in police custody as investigators work to determine what led to the gunfire. Officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 200 block of East Sixth Street at about 2:45 a.m., according to the Duluth News Tribune.
When officers arrived, they found the 36-year-old man suffering from a single gunshot wound. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died from his injury, according to Northern News Now. That station reported the shooting happened around 2:45 a.m. Saturday near North 2nd Avenue East and East 6th Street, while another account described it as early Sunday morning.
What Led to the Shooting
Authorities said the two men involved knew each other and were fighting before the shooting occurred, the station's report notes. Police have not released additional detail about what sparked the confrontation.
Authorities have not released the identity of the man who died, pending notification of his family, per the Duluth News Tribune.
Suspect's Status Differs Between Reports
The two outlets gave differing accounts of where the case against the second man stands. Northern News Now reported that a 26-year-old man was arrested and taken to jail and that he faces a second-degree homicide charge. The Duluth News Tribune, meanwhile, reported that police detained Malik Moore, 26, and said he would be transported to the St. Louis County Jail and is expected to be charged with second-degree murder.
No further details about the investigation have been made public. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
