St. Paul woman, 24, dies days after being shot in vehicle traveling on I-394 in Minneapolis

A woman has died in the hospital days after she and another woman were shot in Minneapolis while driving on Interstate 394 heading away from downtown.

Officers responded Sunday about 10:40 p.m. to HCMC after two women drove themselves to the Minneapolis hospital, according to a police statement issued Thursday.

A preliminary investigation found that the women were inside a vehicle traveling west on I-394, near where the freeway passes Penn Avenue, when someone shot into their vehicle.

An incident report released Thursday by police called the incident “a roll up shooting,” indicating the gunfire came from another vehicle moving close by on the interstate.

After the women realized they had been wounded, they drove to the hospital.

One woman had a life-threatening gunshot wound while the other had a non life-threatening gunshot wound.

The woman with the more serious injury died in the hospital, Minneapolis police said Thursday.

“In this tragic incident, she has 2 kids: a daughter that’s 8 ... and a son that’s 7 months old,” wrote Wiseman’s sister, Aminah Wiseman, in an online fundraising campaign begun on behalf of the children.

“All of Anassia’s property is under police custody,” the sister pointed out. “I have no way to get the kids clothes, Pampers, wipes, socks, formula and other necessities that they need.”

Police are still investigating to determine the circumstances of the shooting. No arrests have been made.

The woman who survived her injuries has not been identified beyond the incident report saying she is 24 years old.

“Two families have had their lives forever changed by gun violence,” read a statement from Police Chief Brian O’Hara. “One of those families had hope that their loved one would recover and experienced further tragedy when that hope was lost. Our investigators will not let her family lose the hope that whoever is responsible will be brought to justice.”
