Family thankful strangers stopped to help their injured daughter after Minneapolis hit-and-run
Minneapolis police are trying to track down a blue sedan they believe may be responsible for a hit-and-run that critically injured a 26-year-old nurse on New Year’s Day.
The victim, identified by her family as Michaela Howk, was crossing the street at 4th Avenue Northeast and University Avenue Northeast around 2 a.m. on Wednesday.
“She’s always been a fighter,” said Michael Howk, the victim’s father, as she’s being treated for numerous injuries at a Minneapolis hospital.
The family is urging anyone with information about the hit-and-run to contact authorities.
“Please come forward; it’s the worst thing in the world to leave someone laying like that,” Michael said.
The family is thankful that other people who saw their daughter injured on the street stopped to help her until medics arrived.
“As horrible as it is, what happened to her, if it wasn’t for the people who stopped to be with her, she wouldn’t be with us,” said Sheila Howk, the victim’s mother. “Michaela has a lot of angels looking out for her.”
Michaela had just moved back home to Minnesota to become a nurse at a local hospital and was scheduled to start the new job this coming Monday.
“Now she’s getting cared for instead of her caring for others,” said Sheila.
Her 26-year-old daughter is being treated for head trauma, broken bones and spinal injuries.

MANCHESTER, Iowa — A Minnesota man has been arrested in Manchester after police say he attempted to meet someone he believed was a minor for sexual activity.
The Manchester Police Department said Robert Fenn Eselby III, 23, of Minneapolis was arrested Feb. 27 following an undercover investigation.
According to police, Eselby contacted an undercover officer posing as a juvenile through several social media platforms. Authorities said he was informed multiple times that the person he was communicating with was underage.
Investigators say Eselby sent explicit photos and videos and later arranged to travel to Manchester to meet the supposed minor for sexual activity.
Police said Eselby was taken into custody immediately after arriving in Manchester and was transported to the Delaware County Jail.
Authorities also said Eselby allegedly attempted to ask an arresting officer out on a date during the booking process.
Eselby faces one count of grooming, a Class D felony, and one count of disseminating obscene material to a minor, a serious misdemeanor.
Court records show he remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
What exactly is a data center and why are so many being proposed across Minnesota?

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis is ranked among the American cities with the most people in financial distress nationwide, according to a recent analysis by WalletHub.
The personal finance website, which defines financial distress as having a credit account in forbearance or with deferred payments, looked at the country’s 100 largest cities without data limitations across nine metrics, including average credit score, change in bankruptcy filings year-over-year, and share of people with accounts in distress.
Minneapolis came in 44th on the list, between Stockton, California, at 43rd and Fresno, California, at 45th, according to the ranking.
Nationwide, the cities with the most people in financial distress were Chicago at No. 1, Houston at No. 2 and Las Vegas at No. 3, the ranking said.
“Getting out of the downward spiral of financial distress is no easy feat,” according to WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.
“You may get temporary relief from your lenders by not having to make payments, but all the while interest will keep building up, making the debt even harder to pay off. People who find themselves in financial distress should budget carefully, cut non-essential expenses, and pursue strategies like debt consolidation or debt management to get their situation under control.”
