Police said they do not expect a motorist to survive from being shot in the head in downtown Minneapolis during an argument before he drove a few blocks and struck another vehicle.
No arrests have been announced as of midday Monday in connection with the gunfire about 6:30 p.m. Friday near 5th Avenue and S. 9th Street, police said.
The driver traveled from that location and struck a family’s vehicle before coming to a stop near 3rd Avenue and S. 9th Street, according to police.
Officers found the man in his 20s slumped over in the vehicle with at least one gunshot wound to the head, read a police statement and a search-warrant affidavit that seeks court permission to collect license plate reader data tied to the suspected shooter’s car.
“The victim was transported to HCMC and is not expected to survive,” the filing read.
Other occupants of the family’s vehicle, including a mother, father and several children, were not injured.
The affidavit offered a few more details about the shooting:
A witness’ video captured the victim’s vehicle and the alleged shooter’s car stopped at a red light at 5th Avenue S. and 10th Street S.
