Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and wife expecting second child ahead of election
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his wife, Sarah Clarke, are expecting a baby due July 21, they announced Sunday.
The news comes the same year Frey is up for for re-election, facing at least four challengers this fall.
“There’s so much chaos going on in the world, sometimes it’s nice just to celebrate these beautiful things,” Frey said in a Monday interview.
Their midwife is the wife of St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, Sakeena Futrell-Carter, who also was the midwife for Frey and Clarke’s 4-year-old daughter, Frida, when she was born September 2020.
Clarke was pregnant during the tumultuous first months of the COVID-19 pandemic and chaotic weeks after police killed George Floyd. At one point, a throng of protesters showed up on the couple’s doorstep to demand Frey “defund police.”
Clarke, a former lobbyist who is now a lawyer for a solar energy company, said in 2023 that the couple had debated whether or not to have another child, knowing they’d eventually need to expand from their apartment to a home, where security would be a concern for them and their neighbors.
Three people are injured after a shooting in north Minneapolis on Monday night.
The Minneapolis Police Department says that just before 8:20 p.m., officers responded to the report of a shooting on the 1600 block of Girard Avenue North.
Authorities found a man with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds outside a vehicle and a woman in the vehicle with at least one non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Both were brought to the hospital for their injuries.
Police were notified that a third person was injured and found a man hiding in a shed on the 1500 block of Girard Avenue North, who was also brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
MPD is working to determine what led up to the shooting and how the three people are connected to each other.
No arrests have been made at this time.
A federal judge has quashed a set of grand jury subpoenas targeting Minnesota officials including Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, ruling that the Department of Justice was attempting to “harass” Minnesota leaders into enforcing immigration policy. FOX 9’s Rob Olson has the story.
Three men were shot early Monday morning near a busy northeast Minneapolis intersection, and police say one of the victims is fighting for his life.
Minneapolis police say the shooting happened just before 12:30 a.m. near the area of East Hennepin Avenue and University Avenue Northeast.
Witnesses called 911 to report “multiple rounds of gunfire” and seeing people fleeing on foot in the area.
Police say officers arrived at the scene to find a man suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. About 10 minutes after the shooting, two others arrived at Hennepin Healthcare with wounds that aren’t considered life-threatening.
This was the third reported shooting this weekend in the city. A woman was shot in the head and hand Saturday night near Bossen Field Park in the southeast corner of the city.
About three hours later, two men were shot near the Wedge Community Co-op off Lyndale Avenue and West 22nd Street. One of the men later died at Hennepin Healthcare.
No arrests have been made in any of these cases, police say, and the respective investigations are ongoing.
