A 23-year-old man was fatally shot inside a New Hope home, and a suspect fled before police arrived, officials said Monday.

The shooting occurred about 9:30 p.m. Thursday at a residence in the 7300 block of Bass Lake Road, police said.

Carnell Mark Johnson Jr. of Bloomington was shot in the chest and died that night at Robbinsdale’s North Memorial Health Hospital, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said.

“The parties that were present were acquainted, and this was not a random crime,” a police statement read.
