Police have made an arrest in the Saturday afternoon stabbing death of a man at the Lake Street light-rail station.
The victim was found at the base of the northbound station platform after being stabbed in the neck. The suspect was picked up by officers Monday, just after midnight, at the People Serving People homeless shelter at 614 3rd St. S., authorities said.
Prosecutors have until Wednesday to file charges against the man, who is being held without bail. The Star Tribune generally does not name suspects until they have been charged.
Commander Catherine Johnson, head of the Minneapolis police's Violent Crimes Investigation Division, credited the arrest to a "quick response" by Minneapolis police and Metro Transit officers. She declined to provide further details about the incident, saying that investigators need to interview more witnesses.
A Metro Transit spokesman said the victim, whose identity hasn't been released, was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he later died.
The stabbing apparently stemmed from an argument between the two men, but it was not immediately clear what they argued about.
Several people rallied Monday afternoon outside the station at Hiawatha Avenue and E. Lake Street.
Pastor Harding Smith of Spiritual Church of God in Robbinsdale said that there needs to be more discussion about how people can resolve their conflicts without resorting to violence.
