The Hennepin County medical examiner on Saturday released the name of a 29-year-old Brooklyn Park man shot to death Friday night in Minneapolis.

Mijamin Forest was found lying dead with several gunshot wounds outside an apartment building at the southwest corner of 33rd Street and Blaisdell Avenue S. about 8 p.m. Friday after police were called there on a report of gunshots.

Police have not released any more information about the shooting, and no one has been arrested in the case.

Mary Van Briesen, who lives nearby, said Friday night that she called police about trouble at the building just a few days ago.

"There are fights there all the time," she said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Minneapolis police tips line at 612-692-8477.
