Major Connell Ivy, 27, was fatally shot after an argument outside a home on the 2300 block of Thomas Avenue North in Minneapolis’ Willard-Hay neighborhood in the early morning of July 16, 2015. Multiple 911 callers reported a dispute and shots fired around 2:30–2:40 a.m.; officers found Ivy mortally wounded and another man injured but expected to survive. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Ivy’s death due to multiple gunshot wounds.

The killing was one of two homicides on Minneapolis’ North Side within roughly seven hours that day, prompting heightened police presence. Contemporary accounts described the shooting as stemming from a dispute outside the residence; no suspect or arrests were identified in those reports. City and state compilations of unsolved cases list the homicide without showing an arrest, indicating the case remains publicly unresolved.
