Tuesday, Minneapolis Police said an investigation showed the man who died after getting shot in the city early Sunday morning was actually shot in Downtown, not Uptown as originally believed.
The department said it initially was informed that numerous people had been shot and many were transported to hospitals by ambulances but some were taken by private vehicles. Police said many patients arrived around the same time and officers initially believed they all came from the Uptown shooting. However, the most critical patient was unconscious and died at the hospital.
