Officials have identified the young man who was fatally shot last week in north Minneapolis and found in a vehicle by police miles away in the city.
Mohamed Ahmed Ade, 19, of Minneapolis died Friday night from a gunshot wound to the neck, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday.
No arrests have been announced, and police have yet to offer a possible motive for the killing.
Police said the shooting occurred in the 1700 block of Glenwood Avenue N. about 8:45 p.m. Minutes later, officers were flagged down at E. 26th Street and S. Longfellow Avenue by occupants of a vehicle, apparently on their way to a hospital with the shooting victim, police spokesman Aaron Rose said. First responders declared the man dead at the scene, Rose said.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
