The man arrested in the shooting death at a retail storage outlet in Minnetonka last week was released from jail.

Thomas E. Luetzow, 58, of Minnetonka, was shot in the head and neck late Friday morning at the Public Mini Storage in the 2800 block of Hedberg Drive, according to the Hennepin County medical examiner's office.

A 65-year-old man was arrested without incident in neighboring St. Louis Park. The Hennepin County attorney's office said they hadn't received a case from Minnetonka police, who continue to investigate the death.

The man was arrested on Friday, but had to be moved to a hospital because of a pre-existing medical condition, said Minnetonka city spokeswoman Kari Spreeman. He was booked into jail Monday and released.

When the man was arrested, police said they recovered a gun and weren't looking for any other suspects. They haven't disclosed the circumstances surrounding the killing.
