MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating its 29th homicide of the year after a family member allegedly fatally shot a man late Thursday night.

Around 11:56 p.m., police responded to a man "screaming for help" on the 2000 block of James Avenue North. When they arrived, officers say they found an unconscious man who had been shot. Despite life-saving efforts, the man died at the scene.
