Man shot in Minneapolis in front of his two toddlers, police say
A man was shot in Minneapolis on Friday, in front of his two young children, according to law enforcement.
A statement from the Minneapolis Police Department said officers found the man on the 3700 block of Chicago Avenue in his car. He had been shot four blocks away, and a woman drove the vehicle four blocks before police found him.
The toddlers were in the back of the car, and “thankfully, the children were not injured,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said in the emailed statement. Police were still confirming the exact ages of the children.
When police arrived around 5 p.m., they found the 31-year-old man with life-threatening wounds. He was later transported to Hennepin County Medical Center.
The statement said police believed the shooting happened after “an altercation,” but offered no other details. No arrests have been made.
Minneapolis police are investigating a hit-and-run that left a man seriously injured Tuesday afternoon.
The crash happened near Oliver Avenue North and Lowry Avenue North just before 2 p.m., according to the Minneapolis Police Department.
Investigators say an SUV struck another vehicle, which then collided with a motorcyclist. The driver of the SUV then fled the scene.
The motorcyclist was taken to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Police say the driver of the other vehicle was not injured.
No arrests have been made as of Tuesday night.
A recent FOX 9 investigation found that Medicaid fraudsters owe millions but pay back little with several other defendants discharged from probation after making either minimal or no payments towards their court-imposed debts.
A homicide investigation is underway after a person was found shot to death inside a car parked along the Mississippi River, the Minneapolis Park Police Department said.
Around 6:40 a.m. Sunday, officers from Minneapolis Park police and the city’s police department responded to a report of a body in a car at Mill Ruins Park. They found an adult with a fatal gunshot wound at the scene, as well as a firearm.
The Minneapolis Police Department’s Homicide Unit is investigating.
Police said the Hennepin County medical examiner will determine the manner and cause of death, as well as the person’s identity.
