Man Shot Dead, Teen In Custody In Minneapolis' 94th Homicide Case Of 2021

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A teenager is in custody after what police describe as a "domestic related" fatal shooting Monday morning in south Minneapolis, marking the city's 94th homicide of the year.

Police say it happened at about 11:40 a.m. on the 3700 block of Park Avenue. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office will identify the victim after an autopsy is completed.

With just four days left in 2021, Minneapolis is only three homicides away from matching the grisly record of 97. That was set in 1995, when the city was referred to as "Murderapolis."
