Officials on Monday released the identity of a man who was fatally shot eight weeks ago in Brooklyn Park.

Khalib K. Blunt, 20, of Brooklyn Park, was shot in the chest about 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 28 and died later at North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said.

Two people were arrested at a home in the 7800 block of Tessman Drive in connection with the shooting and later released. No one has been charged, police said Monday.

Before Blunt was taken to North Memorial, officers performed life-saving measures until firefighters and paramedics arrived and took over, police said.
