METRO/REGIONAL BRIEFING: MINNEAPOLIS: South Side shooting leaves man dead
One person was killed Tuesday afternoon in a South Minneapolis shooting. The man was found about 1:50 p.m. in the area of East 35th Street and Fifth Avenue South in the Central neighborhood. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The victim's age was not immediately available. No one else was injured in the shooting. Police released few details about the shooting, and there was little information about a possible suspect. "That's a tough area," said Minneapolis police spokesman Ron Reier. "It has been for years." Jeff Hayden, aide to City Council Member Gary Schiff, said Schiff has been working both in his ward, which borders the Central neighborhood, as well as with Council Member Robert Lilligren's ward to combat violence in their neighborhoods. They plan to hold a summit with local crime prevention workers to develop strategies and fund raisers to curb violence. http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/local/6007003.htm ************************************************* Man shot dead in Minneapolis Howie Padilla, Star Tribune Published June 4, 2003 Minneapolis police are investigating the shooting death of a man in a South Side neighborhood Tuesday afternoon.
