A family gathering in Bloomington turned deadly on the morning of June 22, 2025. Twenty-four-year-old Andy Tapia Negrete was sitting in the driveway of his uncle’s house on the 200 block of W. 92nd Street when an argument among relatives escalated into violence. A home surveillance camera captured a man arriving with Negrete’s cousin beginning to punch Negrete, then the cousin, 18-year-old Exon Alfonzo Sanchez Garzon, entering the fight and striking several people.

Authorities say Sanchez Garzon pulled a handgun from a cross-body bag and fired three shots at Negrete, paused, then fired an additional five rounds; Negrete was struck multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene around 6:45 a.m. Another person was later treated at a Minneapolis hospital for a gunshot wound. Police described the incident as a family matter.

Later that night Sanchez Garzon was arrested during a traffic stop in Mounds View and charged with second-degree intentional murder. Two other men, ages 22 and 43, were also arrested — one on suspicion of second-degree assault and the other for allegedly aiding an offender.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation that morning or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known.
