Man sentenced to over 13 years for north Minneapolis homicide

A man has been sentenced to prison after a homicide in north Minneapolis earlier this year.

On Thursday, Marvin Dancy, 46, was sentenced to over 13 years (166 months) in prison for a shooting that killed 21-year-old Wence Edwards.

In November, Dancy pleaded guilty to second-degree unintentional murder and a separate count of illegal firearm possession was dismissed.

As previously reported, Minneapolis police responded to a shooting on Feb. 6 at the Handy Stop convenience store on the 2600 block of Broadway Avenue West.

Officers at the scene found a man, later identified as Edwards, in the alley behind the gas station with a life-threatening gunshot wound. Edwards died at the scene, MPD officials said.

“Mr. Dancy is being held accountable for his actions,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Edwards’ family as they grieve their immense loss.”

Clipper moves in – Travel trouble for Minneapolis-St Paul

Clipper moves in

Travel trouble for Minneapolis-St Paul

The northern tier is receiving a winter wallop from a fast-moving Alberta clipper. For Minneapolis-Saint Paul, this is the heaviest snow since March, and it’s causing some holiday travel headaches. You can see conditions deteriorating in Saint Paul in the video above.

Alberta clippers are systems known for bringing snow and wind to the northern tier, and you can see one right now on the WeatherRadar. This combination of wind and snow is reducing visibility and causing treacherous travel conditions from North Dakota to Illinois this morning. Widespread 2-4″ of snowfall are possible, but snow totals upwards of 6 inches are possible in some spots.

Slick roads will impact travel throughout the day. The WindRadar also shows wind gusts upwards of 40 mph on the backside of this system, meaning low visibilities will remain a significant issue even after the snow ends. Today, travel trouble can be expected in cities like Bismarck, N.D., Minneapolis, Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wis.

The Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is a major hub for air travel, and there has already been a ground stop this morning. Flight delays and cancellations in and out of this major airport are possible, so if you are traveling by air, check with your airline before heading to the airport.

The TemperatureRadar also shows much colder air moving in behind this clipper and lingering into the weekend. Check in with the Weather & Radar app often for the latest conditions in your neck of the woods.
