1 Dead, Investigation Underway After North Mpls. Shooting
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the person killed on Minneapolis's north side last week.
According to police, a ShotSpotter activation was reported around 10:30 p.m. on the 3500 block of Girard Avenue North. Shortly after, multiple 911 callers reported the shooting at the same location.
Police officers were dispatched and when they arrived, they found a man lying in the alley with no pulse or respirations. Officers attempted life-saving efforts, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
On Tuesday, the medical examiner identified the victim as 21-year-old Charles Dwarryl Royston Jr., of St. Paul.
Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder says the shooting incident occurred between two or more people. After shots were fired, people scattered. The suspect left the scene before police arrived, Elder said.
No arrests have been reported.
