The man who died Friday night following a shooting during a punk rock concert in Minneapolis has been publicly identified.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office says 35-year-old Nicholas Trevor Golden, who also went by August, died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
He was one of at least seven people shot when two teens ran in and started shooting, according to a neighbor in the area.
