A man was shot and killed late Saturday night after crashing his vehicle into a garage outside a north Minneapolis apartment building.
Police said they found evidence of gunfire in the parking lot outside the building. Crime scene technicians with the Minneapolis Police Forensic Division processed the scene and collected evidence. Investigators are still working to determine the sequence of events that led to the crash and the shooting. Officers also canvassed the area, though no arrests have been announced.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner on Sunday identified the victim as 27-year-old Davione Daunte Charles Collins, of Maple Grove. He died of a gunshot wound to the neck and his death was classified as a homicide.
Chief Brian O’Hara noted that many people were inside the apartment building at the time and called the location of the killing “very concerning.” The shooting marked the first reported homicide in Minneapolis since February 15 and the first fatal shooting in the city since February 7.
