Isaiah Khalel Goodwin, an 18-year-old Black man from Anoka, was shot and killed in north Minneapolis on October 10, 2024. Police responded just after 4 p.m. to reports of gunfire near the 4200 block of Penn Avenue North and found Goodwin in an alley on the 4200 block of Queen Avenue North suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he died at the scene. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds and the manner homicide.

Minneapolis police say Goodwin had an interaction with another man that escalated into gunfire and that the two were believed to be known to each other. Investigators reported the fatal encounter may have resulted from an illegal narcotics deal gone wrong; the suspected shooter was seen running from the area and no arrests have been announced. Goodwin was listed as the city’s 58th homicide victim that year.

Anyone who knew Isaiah or has information about the shooting is asked to contact Minneapolis police.
