A midday argument at the Chicago & Lake Transit Center in Minneapolis ended in deadly violence on September 2, 2025. According to investigators, two men argued inside the busy hub just after 12:30 p.m.; one drew a handgun and fired multiple shots. The victim, 32-year-old Cartez Montel Clinton, was pronounced dead at the scene. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Officers say the shooter fled on foot and was last seen heading north on Chicago Avenue. Police Chief Brian O’Hara indicated the attack did not appear random and that investigators are reviewing extensive surveillance footage; forensic teams collected evidence at the scene. No suspect has been publicly named and no arrest has been announced. A cousin remembered Clinton as generous and always laughing.

Anyone who saw the shooting or has information about the person who fled north on Chicago Avenue is asked to contact Minneapolis police.
