Woman killed in north Minneapolis shooting; 1 in custody

Police say a woman died Thursday afternoon in a shooting in Minneapolis’ Near North neighborhood.

At around 12:35 p.m., officers were called to a report of a shooting on Banneker Avenue North, not far from North 11th Avenue and Fremont Avenue, according to Minneapolis Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Garrett Parten.

There, officers found a woman in her 20s suffering from at least one life-threatening gunshot wound. Officers rendered aid but she died at the scene.

Late Thursday night, police announced a 23-year-old had been arrested and booked into the Hennepin County Jail for probable cause murder after a search warrant was issued for the 300 block of 27th Avenue North around 7 p.m.

The investigation is ongoing, but Parten said investigators don’t believe the public is in danger.
