Minneapolis authorities say they have arrested a man believed to be involved in a shooting that killed three people and injured two others late Tuesday night at the intersection of Bloomington Avenue and East 25th Street.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara said during a press conference that on Thursday at around 3:30 p.m., the United States Marshal’s Service NorthStar Fugitive Task Force and an FBI SWAT Team executed a warrant on the 1600 block of South Fourth Street and arrested 34-year-old James Ortley.

He is currently in custody at the Hennepin County Jail.

Ortley was wanted out of Hennepin County on a warrant for multiple counts of second-degree murder. He was also wanted on a federal warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

One of the victims in the mass shooting was identified as 17-year-old Joey Goodwin, a student at Augsburg Fairview Academy, by school staff.

The executive director of the school, Heidi Anderson, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, “Our school community is heartbroken by this tragic loss. Out of respect for his family and our grieving students and staff, we are focusing right now on supporting one another through this incredibly difficult time.”

She added that, “Joey was a bright, creative, and kind-hearted young man who had deep connections in our school community. Most recently, he was excited about learning how to knit—our school counselor even brought in yarn for him just yesterday. In his honor, our school community will complete a scarf together to present to his family. Each student leaves fingerprints on our hearts, and we are so thankful for the time we had with Joey. His loss is deeply felt, and we are holding his loved ones close in our hearts.”

“This is a significant step forward in what has been an intense and fast-moving investigation into the most violent incident this city has suffered this year,” O’Hara said.

O’Hara said police believe that other individuals may be involved in the triple-fatal shooting or may have key information. He added that Ortley is not believed to be the suspect in any of the other shootings that took place throughout the day on Wednesday.

In response, Minneapolis police, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Transit police have deployed additional patrols and specialized units to affected neighborhoods.

“While the work is far from over, this arrest is a major step forward and it is a message to those wishing to do harm or violence and that message is very clear: This will not be tolerated in our city,” Mayor Jacob Frey said during the press conference.

Authorities are still seeking information from the public regarding the fatal shooting and two other homicides that happened in the city on Wednesday.
