A victim in a Wednesday night shooting died after being transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center, the Minneapolis Police Department said Thursday.
According to the MPD, officers responded to the 1800 block of Nicollet Avenue South on a report of a person shot at that location shortly before 10:00 p.m. Officers arrived and located an adult male, in his late teens, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
“Officers performed wound management until relieved by paramedics. The victim was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by advanced life support ambulance.
