Officials ID both people killed in mass shooting in downtown Minneapolis over weekend
Officials on Monday identified both people who were killed in a mass shooting in downtown Minneapolis over the weekend that also left three other people wounded.
Woodberry, who is from Minneapolis, was shot multiple times, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said. Haggray’s last known address is Long County in southeastern Georgia, according to public voter registration records.
Two girls, ages 16 and 17, and a 23-year-old woman sustained noncritical injuries. Officials have yet to release their identities.
A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of riot in connection with the shooting, but police are continuing to investigate his role in the incident and charges have yet to be filed. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
Police said they recovered a gun and other evidence from the scene.
Emergency dispatch audio from the shooting disclosed that officers struggled to control crowds of people, leading them to request backup.
“Another victim on 5th,” an officer said after a mention of 100 people near the scene. “I need more cops over here now.”
