MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Four people, including a teen boy, were injured overnight when a fight escalated into a stabbing in Minneapolis.

What we know:

Minneapolis police were called to Lowry Avenue North near Fremont Avenue North shortly after 4 a.m. for the report of a fight.

Around the same time, officers also received a call about a fight down the block along Irving Avenue North near Lowry.

Police say at the Lowry Avenue location, they found a man, a woman, and a boy in his late teens who had been stabbed. At the home on Irving Avenue North, they found another man who had also suffered a stab wound.

The backstory:

Investigators say it appears there was a large group of people at the home on Irving Avenue when there was an “altercation” that turned violent.

All four victims were injured at that home, and the three found on Lowry Avenue had walked to safety from the crime scene after the fight.

What’s next:

The investigation into the stabbings is ongoing. It’s unclear what sparked the altercation or if police have arrested a suspect.

All four victims are expected to survive their injuries, police said.

The 20th annual U.S. Pond Hockey Championships wraps up this weekend at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis.

On Thursday, Tucker Hafner was sitting at a table with his team in a heated tent after winning their first game. This tournament is Hafner’s fifth time competing with work friends, who take time off to play in the event.

“Conditions are really nice compared to last year,” he said. “It’s really hard ice, so you’re able to fly around out there. There’s just a lot of cracks, which is normal on a on a lake or a pond. So pretty darn good.”

Hafner, who lives in St. Paul, hopes his team makes it to the championship round.

“My favorite thing about being a part of this is one, taking work off — that’s awesome. And then two, just hanging out with all these guys and having a beer between games and just kind of messing around,” he said.

Mason Coudron of Minneapolis has played at Lake Nokomis since 2013. He looks forward to the hockey championship to reunite with old friends from North Dakota, where he once lived.

“It’s great getting to see people I used to play with,” Coudron said. “And then the facilities usually work really well for this. We could sit out here all day. Take a couple days off of work and just have some fun.”

Could Kevin Garnett be a part-owner of the Minnesota Twins?

It sounds like it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Buried deep in a recent feature from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin about Randy Mims, a longtime associate of NBA superstar LeBron James, there was an interesting nugget about potential Twins buyer Justin Ishbia wanting to line up some famous Minneapolis sports figures to be involved in the ownership group.

According to the story, Ishbia and Mims discussed several local sports stars who would fit that bill, including current Minnesota Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson, former Vikings Cris Carter and Robert Smith, Baseball Hall of Famers Dave Winfield and Joe Mauer and former Timberwolves stars Kevin Love and Garnett. Mims is fairly close with Garnett and told Ishbia, a part-owner of the Phoenix Suns and brother of Suns majority owner Mat Ishbia, he’ll get them in touch.

Garnett was previously interested in putting together an ownership group to purchase the Timberwolves, and it would be interesting to see whether he’d be interested in joining the Ishbias’ bid to purchase the Twins. There has not yet been an agreement to purchase the Twins, but it’s been reported that Justin Ishbia is “very, very serious” in his interest.

If the Ishbias land the winning bid, a direction the sale appears to be trending, it will be interesting to see whether they bring any current or former Minnesota sports stars, like Garnett, into the fold. It should become more clear in the near future as rumor has it the Pohlads are pleased with the interest and are expected to sell the team by Opening Day.
