Police say a man shot Wednesday evening has died, marking the fifth homicide in Minneapolis within a span of just 20 hours.
Officers responded around 7:45 p.m. to the 3000 block of 15th Avenue South after a ShotSpotter activation indicated gunfire in the area.
Police located 51-year-old Derrick Lamont Ewing, of Minneapolis, suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was taken to Hennepin Healthcare, where he died.
Investigators are working to determine if this case is linked to the two other fatal shootings that occurred just hours prior. Based on early information, authorities do not believe any of the shootings were random.
