The Hennepin County Medical Examiner has identified 15-year-old Santana Jackson as the victim in a fatal shooting Friday in north Minneapolis.

Jackson died of multiple gunshot wounds after he was shot around 4:30 p.m. on the 2400 block of Dupont Avenue North, the autopsy report states. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another victim, identified as a 16-year-old boy, arrived at North Memorial Health Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries connected to the shooting, according to the Minneapolis Police Department. His name has not been released as of this time.
