Man dies after shooting near West Broadway in north Minneapolis
A man who was gunned down in north Minneapolis Thursday evening died after being transported to North Memorial Medical Center in critical condition.
Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder said MPD learned of the victim's death early Friday morning. The victim was found on the ground in the area of the 1600 block of West Broadway Avenue after a report of "the sound of shots fired" around 5:50 p.m. Thursday.
Officers found the man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and he was immediately transported to North Memorial in Robbinsdale.
