MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A man was fatally shot early Monday morning in south Minneapolis, according to police.
What we know
Minneapolis police responded to a shooting just after 3 a.m. near Lake Street and 13th Avenue South and found a man on the sidewalk with a life-threatening gunshot wound.
Authorities say while officers worked to secure the scene and provide medical treatment to the victim, there was an "uncooperative and hostile crowd," so additional officers were requested at the scene.
Despite life-saving measures, the man was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.
As of Monday morning, no arrests have been made.
What we don’t know
Few details were immediately known about the shooting, but police said there was a large group in the area before the incident occurred. Investigators are still working to determine the moments leading up to the shooting.
