2 men killed, woman injured in Minneapolis shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Minneapolis police say two people were killed, and one seriously injured, in a shooting Wednesday night.
Police say they were first called to a report of shots fired around 11:35 p.m. on the 2800 block of Colfax Avenue South. When officers arrived at the scene they found a man and a woman in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. The woman, who is in her 30s, was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and is receiving treatment for life-threatening injuries.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. He was identified on Friday as Khalil Amer Bryant, 23, of Robbinsdale. He died of multiple gunshot wounds, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said.
A short time later, at 11:40 p.m., police were notified of a man down in the hallway of an apartment building a block away on the 2800 block of Bryant Avenue South. When officers arrived at that scene, they found a man in the hallway suffering from gunshot wounds.
Officers provided aid, but the victim died at the scene. He has been identified as Davante Lavar-King Reid, 29, of Minneapolis, with the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office stating he died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
Police had been working to determine if the two incidents were related. On Friday, the Minneapolis Police Department said it now believes the two men who were killed and the woman who was injured were shot in the same incident, which happened on the 2800 block of Colfax Avenue South.
"Investigators continue their work to determine who was involved, how each person is related to the incident, and what transpired," the Minneapolis Police Department said Friday.
No arrests have been made as of Friday afternoon.
