Timeline
Updated local news reports say the double homicide inside a north Minneapolis home is connected to the officer-involved shooting in Brooklyn Center, where the suspect was later fatally shot by officers.
Investigators are exploring a potential motive, including whether the suspect thought family members were linked to his prior arrest.
After the shootings, the suspect fled the scene. Another adult male arrived armed at the residence but is not believed connected to the murders and was arrested for assault and obstruction.
Several young children and their grandmother were in the home but were unharmed.
Minneapolis police say the double homicide was a targeted family shooting inside a home on Irving Avenue North. The victims, a 23-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, were cousins of the suspect, who had just been released from Hennepin County Jail.
Authorities reported an “active investigation” in nearby Brooklyn Center, closing the intersection of Xerxes Avenue North and 56th Avenue North, while police have not yet confirmed a connection between the two incidents.
Minneapolis police say a double homicide occurred Monday around 3:30 p.m., and officers have cordoned the area as they investigate. Details about what led to the shootings and the identities of the victims have not been released.
A 911 caller has reported an unconfirmed incident at 4246 Irving Ave N.
