Man fatally shot during argument in Como neighborhood of Minneapolis

The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating what they say is now a homicide in the city’s Como neighborhood.

Police say a shooting happened around 12:10 p.m. Monday afternoon at Cole Townhomes Housing Cooperative, near the intersection of Cole Avenue Southeast and 25th Avenue Southeast.

Minneapolis Police Department spokesman Officer Garrett Parten said a man in his 30s was found with life-threatening gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

Investigators say the man and a woman got into an argument that “erupted into gunfire.” The two knew each other, but the exact nature of their relationship was unclear.

The woman was at the scene when investigators arrived, and she was booked into custody after being questioned by homicide detectives Monday afternoon, Parten said.

This shooting is the 60th homicide in Minneapolis this year.
