Tommy Bardney, 34, was shot and killed outside his home on the 1000 block of Humboldt Avenue North in Minneapolis on the afternoon of April 2, 2013. He was sitting in a van talking with his wife, Rosie, when a white SUV pulled alongside and a single shot came through the driver’s-side window, striking him in the head. First responders arrived after a 3:20 p.m. 911 call and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Just weeks earlier he had returned to Minneapolis from Mississippi to be closer to family. He left seven children, who gathered with their mother days later at a rain-soaked vigil near 11th and Humboldt. Witnesses initially described a white SUV with tinted windows; investigators later sought help identifying a white Chevrolet Uplander, believed to be a 2005 to 2008 model and possibly fitted with a rooftop luggage rack. Police said at least two people were inside the vehicle. Crime Stoppers offered up to a $1,000 reward and detectives publicized tip lines, but no arrests had been reported in the days and weeks after the killing and the case remained under investigation.

Does anyone who lived in the neighborhood then or who remembers that Uplander have information that could help investigators?
