Frank Sam Early was 37 when he was shot and killed in North Minneapolis on November 19, 2011.

The car crossed into the opposite lane and crashed into a parked vehicle in a business lot; Early died at the scene from gunshot wounds.

The killing came weeks after another fatal shooting in a car in the same area, and Early’s death remains unsolved.
