MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Police say a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis’ Camden neighborhood late Thursday night.

Shooting on Penn Avenue North

What we know: Minneapolis police responded to a ShotSpotter activation around 11 p.m. on the 3500 block of Penn Avenue North.

Upon arrival, officers located a man with what appeared to be a life-threatening gunshot wound. Officers started rendering aid before EMS transported the man to North Memorial Medical Center, where he was ultimately pronounced dead.  

What we don’t know: Police say Minneapolis forensic scientists processed the scene and investigators are working to determine what led up to the shooting. 

Police did not share further details about the victim, but said the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the victim’s identity, along with the cause and manner of his death. 

What they’re saying: “My thoughts are with the victim’s family,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “This man’s loved ones will be dealing with an incredible loss during the holiday season. I urge anyone who may know information about what happened to contact our investigators.”

So far, no arrests have been made. Anyone with information is encouraged to email policetips@minneapolismn.gov or leave a voicemail at 612-672-5845. Police added anonymous tips can be submitted through CrimeStoppers. 

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the New York Knicks Thursday night in Karl-Anthony Towns’ return to Target Center, and things got a little crazy in the second quarter.

As the Knicks were dominating, two women stormed the court as the game was going to a timeout. They were both wearing Knicks’ colors, one made it near the TNT courtside broadcast before quickly being escorted away by police. The other never made it past the Knicks’ bench, and was stopped near former Timberwolves’ coach Tom Thibodeau.

Glue Girl Part II?

Why it matters: A few years ago when the Timberwolves were in the NBA’s Play-In Tournament, a woman went onto the floor at the baseline and tried to glue her wrist to the court. She earned the nickname “Glue Girl” and was quickly arrested. She was part of a group protesting a mass killing of chickens at an Iowa farm owned by Glen Taylor. In the game after the “Glue Girl” incident at Target Center, someone sitting directly behind Taylor and his wife, Becky, tried to run on the floor during play and was taken out by Timberwolves’s security.

What we don’t know: What led the two women to storm the court Thursday night.

Were they protesting the Timberwolves’ play?

The Timberwolves got out-scored 41-18 in the second quarter and trailed 73-51 at half. Towns had 22 points, 12 rebounds and four assists at the break.

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.”
