A July 4th celebration turned deadly over the weekend in the north metro.


The Lake Johanna Fire Department says a man in his 20s died early Sunday morning in Arden Hills after a firework exploded in his hand.

That incident happened around 1:30 in the morning on the roof of an abandoned portion of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant.

It also happened in front of a group of about 15 to 20 people according to the fire department.

The victim was identified as Yaseen Samir Abumayyaleh. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where he later died from his injuries.

Nobody else was injured.
