(KNSI) — One person is dead after a shooting and a crash near Interstate 94 just south of the Basilica of St. Mary in downtown Minneapolis Monday morning.
Police say around 1:15, they were called to a crash and told someone had also been shot. In one of the vehicles, police found a man in his 20s who was unresponsive and suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died. Police have not released his name. Two men in the other car were not hurt.
Investigators say it appears the driver was shot in one area and then drove away before crashing into another car that was stopped at a red light. “Evidence of gunfire” was found on Hennepin Avenue South near Vineland Place and the vehicle. Witnesses say they saw another vehicle leaving the area at a high rate of speed.
No one has been arrested.
