A 17 year old male was shot and killed Thursday evening just three blocks away from the George Floyd memorial in south Minneapolis.
Minneapolis police responded to a shooting just after 6 p.m. at 35th and Chicago Avenue South. According to Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, the shooting happened while two men were inside a business. The two encountered one another and that's when the shooting happened. The male suspect fled the scene and hasn't been arrested.
Paramedics tended to the male victim and transported him to Hennepin Healthcare where he died a short time later.
