Tiago Antonio Gilbert, a 34-year-old Native American man from Minneapolis, was shot and killed in a brazen daytime attack on April 30, 2025, around 1 p.m. The shooting occurred outside the Mino-Bimaadiziwin Apartments on Cedar Avenue South, a building that also houses the Minneapolis office of the Red Lake Nation.

Gilbert was standing on the sidewalk with his girlfriend next to their parked SUV when witnesses said two men approached and opened fire. As he tried to run he collapsed; the gunmen then entered a silver Chevrolet Impala driven by a third man and fled. Gilbert was found with life-threatening injuries and pronounced dead at the scene; the Hennepin County Medical Examiner later ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. The SUV’s rear was struck by a stray bullet, narrowly missing the girlfriend’s two young children who were seated inside.

Investigators described it as entirely probable that the killing was an act of retaliation. Authorities identified three suspects and issued arrest warrants for them. Does anyone have information about that afternoon on Cedar Avenue South or recall seeing a silver Chevrolet Impala nearby?
