In the early hours of Saturday, March 14, 2026, Maslah Aden Khalif was shot and killed in a Minneapolis parking lot on the 2300 block of Hennepin Avenue South. He was standing with a group of people when gunfire erupted into the crowd at about 1:30 a.m. First responders found Khalif with at least one life-threatening gunshot wound; officers provided immediate medical aid and he was taken to Hennepin Healthcare, where he died.

Investigators say the shots appear to have come from outside the group. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced and the motive remains unknown. The Minneapolis Police Department is actively investigating and asking anyone with information to contact them.

If anyone was in that area that night or has video or other information, please share it with investigators.
