Jace Srur, a 34-year-old Caucasian man, died after being struck by a stray bullet while hunting with his own party on the opening weekend of deer firearm season. The shooting happened around 8:00 a.m. on November 9, 2024, in the 4600 block of 90th Avenue North in rural Clay County, Minnesota, about 20 miles north of Moorhead. First responders and sheriff’s deputies began first aid at the scene and Srur was airlifted to Sanford Hospital in Fargo with what authorities described as a non-survivable head injury.

Srur was pronounced dead on November 10, 2024, and his family arranged for organ donation. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and has consistently called the incident an accidental shooting; no arrests or suspects have been announced. He is remembered by his employer as a dedicated, integral team member.

Are there any hunters or residents in that area who saw or heard anything the morning of November 9 that could help clarify how the stray round was fired?
