Minneapolis police are piecing together what happened after a man was shot dead early Saturday morning.
Officers responded to the 3500 block of Girard Avenue N. on reports of a shooting about 4:10 a.m. Saturday, police spokesperson Garrett Parten said in a statement. Officers arrived to find a man in his 40s lying in an alley with life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Early reports suggest the man was working on a car when another vehicle approached. An argument began between the man and someone in the other vehicle, escalating into gunfire. The second vehicle left the area.
Officers responding to the scene gave the man medical aid until city fire and EMS workers took over. He died at North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale.
Police canvased the area, but no arrests have been made.
