Christopher Darnell Thurmond, 32, of Maplewood, Minnesota, was shot and killed in Minneapolis on July 14, 2024. Officers found him around 9:45 p.m. in the 2500 block of Central Avenue NE, just north of Lowry Avenue; he was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and later died. The medical examiner ruled the cause of death homicide by multiple gunshot wounds.

Two other people — a man and a woman — sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and were found in a vehicle that had left the scene. That vehicle was located about two miles south near Central Avenue and SE 4th Street; both survivors were taken to HCMC for treatment. Preliminary police information indicates the shooting arose from an altercation among several people who knew one another. Two women were taken into custody in connection with the shooting; their identities were not released.

This was reported as the fourth confirmed homicide in Minneapolis in July 2024.
