Both the suspect and bystander who were shot were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive, Cordie added. Police did not say who shot the bystander.
Latashia Sawyer, who was inside the store with her daughter, told WCPO-TV that she heard shots and that an employee told them to “run for your life.”
“People just started scattering and going about everywhere,” she said. “Then we heard more gunshots — I counted at least 20.”

Future of George Floyd Square still undecided
Memorial Day marks six years since the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, with remembrance events held in his honor. City officials have since pondered what George Floyd Square should look like in the future. FOX 9’s Leon Purvis has the details.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Minneapolis is preparing for major changes at George Floyd Square as it marks six years since Floyd’s murder.
City prepares to reshape George Floyd Square after years of debate
What we know:
City leaders have spent years discussing whether to keep the intersection mostly closed to traffic or reopen it in some way.
For nearly six years, George Floyd Square at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue has been a place for memorials, art and community gatherings. After much debate, construction is set to begin on June 8.
The city council’s original idea was to turn the area into a pedestrian mall, keeping it closed to most vehicles.
That plan faced pushback from some businesses and residents, and ultimately decided on a flexible open-street design.
Dwight Alexander, owner of Smoke in the Pit, said, “I don’t want a pedestrian mall.”
Under this plan, 38th Street and Chicago Avenue will reopen to vehicle and bus traffic, but the area where Floyd was killed will remain closed to traffic.
Renderings show wider sidewalks, new gathering spaces and improved infrastructure throughout the intersection.
Jeremiah Rupert, who visits George Floyd Square every day, said, “How do you balance community and social justice to make sure everyone gets what they need?”
“I want the road back open. I want the bus line to come back this way if it can. I want the streetlights back up there,” said Alexander.
City officials say memorials and gathering spaces will remain part of the redesign during and after construction, though some locations may shift.
Artists and community members will be involved in making sure the public can still access the memorials during construction.
“If we shut it down for construction, or if we further open it up, what would it do to the space?” said Rupert.
The city says construction is expected to continue through 2027.
Big picture view:
George Floyd Square has become both a memorial and a gathering place for the community since 2020.
The redesign aims to balance the needs of residents, businesses and those who visit the space to remember Floyd.
Business owners and community members have voiced a range of opinions on how the intersection should function moving forward.
Some want easier access for vehicles and buses, while others are focused on preserving the area’s significance as a memorial.
The city’s plan attempts to address both concerns by reopening some streets while keeping the most sensitive area closed to traffic.

Ahead of the Indianapolis 500, DCR Restyles Romain Grosjean’s No. 18 to Honor the Late Kyle Busch
While there will be no No. 8 or No. 18 run at Charlotte Motor Speedway this Memorial Day weekend, over in Indianapolis, Kyle Busch’s most iconic No. 18 will have the chance to run the Indianapolis 500 that he never got following his unexpected passing on Thursday at the age of 41 from severe pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, per a statement shared from the family to The Athletic.
Joe Gibbs Racing has not used the No. 18 since Busch left the organization after the completion of the 2022 season, and as announced yesterday, Richard Childress Racing will halt the use of the No. 8 in honor of Busch until his son Brexton is ready to go “NASCAR racing.”
Plans came together the day before the running of the 110th Indianapolis 500 for Romain Grosjean to run Busch’s stylized No. 18 after a suggestion from Fox Sports broadcaster Townsend Bell, per Adam Stern of the Sports Business Journal. Fox Sports and JGR worked together to get the tribute approved and on the car.
Busch ran the No. 18 for 15 years, including both successful Championship campaigns in 2015 and 2019.
Right in between these two championships, Kyle Busch had the chance to race The Double in 2017, securing approval from Chevrolet, Toyota, and his main sponsor of the era, Mars Inc., with his iconic M&Ms scheme. Ultimately, Joe Gibbs shot it down. Earlier this year, on an episode of his former teammate Denny Hamlin’s podcast Actions Detrimental, he shared that if a deal were to come together again, he would take the opportunity with the assumed support of Richard Childress.
