The financial impact of Minneapolis vehicle break-ins, as dozens of cars vandalized in Lowry Hill
We continue pushing for answers tied to Minneapolis car break-ins.
Dozens more cars were broken into over the weekend in the Lowry Hill neighborhood. We’ve reported on similar situations earlier this year.

Owner of Luna Glass Service, Grady Hegel, says his business has jumped because of the vandalism. Hegel says the average repair job costs $300.00. A decade ago, most of his jobs were replacing windshields — now it’s door windows and he’s had a tough time finding a supply.
“I can’t get the glass locally and I’ve looked into Milwaukee, Chicago warehouses and they don’t have it either,” Hegel said
The last few days, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has reached out to Minneapolis Police asking what they can do to prevent this crime, but they haven’t gotten back to us.
MPD honors the life of fallen officer Jamal Mitchell
The Minneapolis Police Department held a ceremony to honor the life of Officer Jamal Mitchel and other responders who were at the scene of the 2024 mass shooting in the Whittier neighborhood. FOX 9’s Babs Santos has the full story.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Jamal Mitchell was killed in the line of duty on May 30, 2024, responding to an apartment on Blaisdell Avenue on a report of a shooting.
The Minneapolis City Planning Commission plans to discuss naming a portion of Blaisdell Avenue in Mitchell’s honor.
Honoring Jamal Mitchell
The backstory:
The planning commission will recommend to the city council a petition that will rename Blaisdell Avenue between Franklin Avenue W. and 22nd Street West to Officer Jamal Mitchell Way.
The proposal was put together last month and submitted to the city by Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O’Hara.
Jamal Mitchell killed
What we know:
Minneapolis police were called to an apartment on Blaisdell Avenue South just after 5 p.m. for a report of a shooting.
While en route, an officer stopped to help what appeared to be a possible victim.
That’s when Mitchell was shot in what authorities describe as an ambush. He later died at the hospital. A civilian and the gunman also died, while three others, including a firefighter, were injured in the mass shooting.
Mitchell had been with the Minneapolis Police Department since 2022, and was sworn in by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.
What they’re saying:
O’Hara remembered Mitchell fondly, saying, “I knew Jamal. I had the distinct honor of swearing in Jamal as a Minneapolis police officer. Shortly after hitting the street, I commended and honored him for running into a burning house in the 5th Precinct to rescue an elderly couple. He loved the job, he loved the MPD, and he was faithful to the oath he swore unto his death.”
Two teenagers are recovering from gunshot wounds and a man is in custody after a car was stolen in north Minneapolis early Thursday.
According to Minneapolis police, around 1:15 a.m., officers responded to a report of three people stealing a vehicle on the 3500 block of Colfax Avenue North. Shortly after the car was stolen, 911 callers reported multiple gunshots in the area.
Ten minutes later, two teenagers were dropped off at North Memorial Medical Center in the stolen car, which then left the scene. A 14-year-old and 16-year-old had both been shot, police say.
Twenty minutes later, police in Robbinsdale saw the stolen car driving erratically on Colfax Avenue North. Police pursued the car, which crashed near the 4300 block of Marshall Street Northeast.
The driver was arrested and taken to the hospital to evaluate his injuries related to the crash, Minneapolis police say.
Police are investigating the incident.
