Friends mourn loss of barber killed in Minneapolis shooting early Sunday

Friends mourn the loss of a St. Paul barber who was killed in a Minneapolis shooting that injured 11 others early Sunday morning.

Pollard was transported to the hospital in a private car unresponsive, so he was not able to tell investigators where he had been shot. When his family arrived, they thought Pollard was in Uptown that night, so they assumed that is where he was shot.

Instead, witnesses revealed Pollard was shot twice in the area of Target Center during a fight late Saturday night. Minneapolis police believe the shooting happened near 7th Street North and 1st Avenue North sometime between 12:30 a.m. and 1 a.m. During that time in that area, the police only received a call about a vehicles driving erratically.

The shooting was part of a violent weekend across Minneapolis that left 21 injured by gunfire.
