According to the criminal complaint, officers were called to the400 block of Maryland Avenue Westaround 12:49 a.m. on July 18 and found a man with a gunshot wound to his right hand. The victim, who had recently moved to Minnesota, said he had been sitting on a bed when he reached out to share his lighter and heard a “pow.” He initially thought the lighter had exploded, but realized he had been shot. The bullet struck his right ring finger, which was left partially attached. Doctors later amputated the finger up to the first knuckle.
