On the afternoon of May 11, 2016, 25-year-old Derrick Elijah Rodgers was killed in a brazen, public shooting on the North Side of Minneapolis. He was shot multiple times and died in the street near the intersection of Oliver Avenue North and Olson Highway Service Road after the attack began while he was inside a red sports car and continued as he tried to flee on foot; the bullet-riddled car was found abandoned a block away. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators treated the killing as targeted and tied it to a wave of retaliatory violence between rival North Minneapolis street factions described as High-End and Low-End. Police believe Rodgers’ death was retaliation for a shooting a week earlier, and say suspects have been linked to the broader pattern of shootings, but no arrest has been announced for his murder and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Derrick, saw the red sports car that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
