Davione Daunte Charles Collins, 27, was shot and killed in his car outside the Peregrine Apartment building at 2035 West River Road North in Minneapolis on the evening of April 19, 2025. He arrived at the building between 10:13 p.m. and 10:16 p.m. Surveillance footage shows two individuals approach his vehicle, then jump back before extending their arms toward the car as if pointing firearms. Collins remained inside; his car rolled down the parking lot entrance ramp and struck the garage door. Officers arriving about 10:17 p.m. found him deceased in the driver’s seat.

The medical examiner determined he died instantly from a gunshot wound to the neck that severed his vertebrae. Investigators recovered five shell casings from two different firearms where the two figures had stood. Evidence from Collins’ vehicle, including an iPhone with photographs and social media activity, helped identify suspects; on May 2, 2025, a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident was arrested in St. Paul and a 17-year-old was taken into custody in Brooklyn Park. Police say a 16-year-old allegedly directed Collins to the back of the building and propped a door open for the shooters to flee inside.

Did anyone in the area see Collins that night or notice suspicious activity at the Peregrine building?
