Authorities on Monday identified a 23-year-old man who was killed in an apparent ambush as he sat in a parked car last week on Minneapolis' south side.

Trejon Sands, of Minneapolis, was found fatally wounded, after having been shot multiple times in the chest, in the 2900 block of S. Grand Avenue, near the Midtown Greenway, just before 11 p.m. Thursday, according to police and scanner reports. According to a preliminary police account, witnesses told officers at the scene that Sands had been sitting in a vehicle when the gunman approached and started firing inside.

Responding officers attempted to revive Sands by administering CPR until paramedics arrived and transported him to HCMC, police said. He died there early Friday morning, a police spokeswoman said. Officers and homicide detectives spent the next several hours canvassing the area around the Greenway after a witness reported seeing at least one suspect running from the shooting scene, according to police. A police dog was later summoned to the scene to help with the search. No arrests have been made.

In the ensuing days, friends and relatives took to social media to pay tribute to Sands, whose Facebook page showed him in a photo wearing a Baltimore Orioles jersey and said he was a fan of rappers A$AP Rocky, Big Sean and 'Lil Wayne.

No motive and few other details have been offered about the slaying, the city's 10th of 2019.

In an apparently unrelated incident Sunday, police say an 18-year-old man was shot in the foot when gunfire broke out shortly before 10 p.m. outside the Camden Tavern & Grill, a well-known bar on the city's far north side that has been the site of other violent episodes in recent years. The teen is expected to survive.
