An 18-year-old man was shot and killed in a vehicle Friday night in the Harrison neighborhood of north Minneapolis, police said.

The shooting happened sometime after 8 p.m. in the 1700 block of Glenwood Avenue, where police found evidence of a shooting, according to preliminary reports.

Officers were flagged down by motorists, apparently on their way to a hospital, shortly before 9 p.m. at the intersection of E. 26th Street and Longfellow Avenue and told they had the shooting victim in the car, said police spokesman Aaron Rose. First responders tried to resuscitate the victim but he was declared dead at the scene.

There had been no arrests as of Saturday morning, and homicide detectives were investigating to determine what happened. Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Callers will remain anonymous.
