The victim was unresponsive as paramedics transported him to Hennepin Healthcare, Crime Watch Minneapolis reported. He died at the hospital on Wednesday.
The victim’s identity has not yet been released and no arrests have been made.
Police are calling this the city’s 21st homicide of the year.
A resident who did not want to be identified told Alpha News that drug deals take place on the street at all hours of the day and has asked police to put up a camera in the area.
“It’s 24/7 drugs and gun crime. There are toddlers who live here,” the resident said.
