Minneapolis police are investigating a homicide after an unidentified person was shot and killed Wednesday morning on a sidewalk in south Minneapolis.
Officers responded to the 3000 block of 4th Avenue S. around 9 a.m., where they found the individual suffering from critical injuries. The unidentified adult victim — whose gender was not released — died at the scene. It's not immediately clear what precipitated the shooting.
There have been no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing, MPD said in a news release.
