A 16-year-old was hospitalized with potentially life-threatening wounds after a shooting in Minneapolis’ Cedar-Riverside neighborhood early Sunday, police said.
Minneapolis and University of Minnesota police responded shortly before 1 a.m. to the intersection of S. 19th and Riverside avenues and found the 16-year-old boy badly injured and a 35-year-old male suspect, according to a preliminary report from Minneapolis police.
Police believe a fight that began when the teen broke a window in the suspect’s vehicle escalated into gunfire. The teen was taken to Hennepin Healthcare.
The suspect was arrested and booked into the Hennepin County jail on suspicion of second-degree assault. The Star Tribune does not typically name suspects before they are charged.
