A 26-year-old motorcyclist injured in a suspected hit-and-run crash at busy south Minneapolis intersection has died nearly six weeks later.
Nicolas Cabrera, of Minneapolis, died Saturday at HCMC, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said.
Cabrera suffered his injuries shortly after 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 30 at S. Lyndale Avenue and W. 22nd Street, the examiner's office said.
A CaringBridge webpage started on behalf of the family and dedicated to updating Cabrera's time in the hospital said he suffered severe head injuries.
Police last week turned to the public for help trying to track down the driver responsible for Cabrera's death. They released on Facebook two photos of a man in a store in hopes that someone can identify him for police. The posting stopped short of calling the man the hit-and-run suspect.
Anyone with information about the man in the photo or the crash is being encouraged to contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.CrimeStoppersMN.org. All tips are anonymous, and information leading to an arrest and conviction could result in a reward.
