Man dies in hospital following shooting in south Minneapolis, city’s 11th of 2025

Minneapolis police are investigating after a man was shot and killed late Sunday night on the South Side, the third in a little over a week after a two-month span without killings in the city.

Officers in the Third Precinct responded around 11:40 p.m. to a report of a shooting near the intersection of 29th Street E. and Clinton Avenue S. in the city’s Phillips West neighborhood.

Police were called in after Minneapolis Fire Department and Hennepin County emergency workers first responded to reports of a person on the ground and saw that he was shot, Minneapolis police said in a news release.

The man was taken to Hennepin Healthcare hospital where he later died.

Investigators are working to determine what led to the shooting, and no arrests have been made, according to the release. No additional details were provided.

Chief Brian O’Hara asked for those with information on the shooting to inform the department.

“In cases like this, we need someone to speak on behalf of the deceased,” O’Hara said in the release. “Even the smallest detail could be crucial as our investigators work to determine what happened to this man.”

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office has not released man’s identity, or the official cause and manner of death.

This is the city’s 11th homicide in 2025. It’s the city’s third fatal shooting over the past 10 days. Before those three shootings, the city had gone without a reported homicide in over two months.

Minneapolis went 62 days without a homicide — starting Feb. 15 and ending the night of April 18, when Zakaria A. Noor, 23, of Oakdale was shot near the intersection of 5th Avenue S. and 9th Avenue S. in downtown Minneapolis. He died from his injuries on Thursday. It was one of the longest gaps between homicides in recent history. On April 19, Davione Collins, 27, of Maple Grove was shot outside an apartment in the 2000 block of N. West River Road.

The last year that came close was 2017, when there were 45 days without a homicide between January and March.
