A man was fatally shot after an argument early Tuesday morning in Minneapolis. 

Fatal shooting on Thomas Avenue North

What we know:

According to Minneapolis police, around 2:30 a.m., officers responded to the 1600 block of Thomas Avenue North on reports of a shooting inside a home.

At the scene, officers found a man with several gunshot wounds. The man was taken to the hospital, where he later died, police said.

Authorities say that an argument led to gunfire, and the suspect fled the scene before police arrived.

A 17-year-old was arrested in connection to the shooting, and police say they are investigating “connections” between the teen arrested and other violent crimes in Minneapolis this year. 

What they’re saying:

“Another family has forever been impacted by senseless violence,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “Settling disputes with a firearm is completely unacceptable, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure justice in this case.  Every available tool in the juvenile justice system must be used to protect young people who pose a danger to themselves as well as the community.” 

What we don’t know:

Police did not specify the gender of the 17-year-old. And the other crimes the teen could be connected to were not specified. 

The man who was fatally shot has not been identified. 

A 41-year-old was found guilty in the murders of Christopher Martell Washington, Louis Mitchell Lemons, Jr., and Samantha Jo Moss at a homeless encampment in Minneapolis, according to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office.

According to a criminal complaint, Earl Bennett rode an e-bike to a tent in the encampment in October 2024, asked to see one of the victims inside and began shooting shortly after being allowed inside. Surveillance video showed him leaving the tent and riding away on his e-bike.

Washington and Lemons were declared dead at the scene, and Moss died at the hospital a week later.

Bennett is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 16 in this case, the attorney’s office said.

Other cases

Bennett is also a defendant in two other cases.

He was shot by law enforcement after pointing a gun at officers in St. Paul days after the murders.

Officers later learned Bennett had shot and critically injured a man earlier in the evening at a sober living home on the 3500 block of Columbus Avenue South.

The gun Bennett pointed at officers in St. Paul matched the casings found at both the encampment and sober living home shootings.
