A woman was shot and killed in an apparent drive-by while walking outside around midnight Wednesday in north Minneapolis.
Police responded to gunfire at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of Thomas and Oak Park avenues N. Officers arrived to find a woman in her early 30s lying unresponsive on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Responding officers performed CPR until paramedics arrived. The woman was rushed to HCMC, where she later died.
Surveillance footage from the area captured a dark van driving away from the area after firing upon a woman walking down the sidewalk in what's believed to be a targeted shooting, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
The victim's identity has yet to be released, and no arrests have been announced.
"Preliminary information indicates that the adult female was outside a residence near this location when she was apparently shot by an unknown individual or individuals," a police statement read.
