Minneapolis man dies weeks after shooting; 13-year-old suspect in custody
A Minneapolis man shot in the head and neck has died from his injuries, nearly a month after police believe he was shot in the city’s Phillips neighborhood by a 13-year-old boy.
Ezekiel Javon Paine, 22, of Minneapolis, died Thursday in a hospital, weeks after the Dec. 7 shooting inside an apartment in the 2500 block of 16th Av. S., according to a news release from Minneapolis police.
Officers responded just before midnight on Dec. 7 to the apartment, and found Paine with a potentially life-threatening gunshot wound. Officers provided life-saving measures until medical responders arrived and took him to HCMC.
The preliminary investigation found that Paine was in an altercation with someone he knew before being shot.
One day later on Dec. 8, police arrested a 13-year-old boy at the 2900 block of Logan Av. N, on probable cause for first-degree assault, police said. He was lodged at the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center. He remains in custody as of Friday, according to the release.
This brings the total number of homicides in Minneapolis in 2023 to 77, according to the Star Tribune’s database.
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.
