Bryson Lamarr Haskell, 24, of Minneapolis was killed in a shooting on December 3, 2023, around 2:15 a.m. The violence occurred inside Royal Cigar and Tobacco in the Dinkytown area on the 400 block of 14th Avenue Southeast. Surveillance video showed a gunman shoot Haskell and his friend, 24-year-old Michael Jamartre Sanders, in the head at close range; both men died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

A store employee was also wounded and later activated a panic button that locked the doors while the shooter broke the front glass to escape. Four other men left with him in a stolen Kia. Authorities said the shooting arose from an argument that escalated into a fistfight and was tied to gang rivalry; Haskell and Sanders were identified as members or associates of the Lowz street gang from North Minneapolis, and the shooter and his companions were described as associates of a rival South Minneapolis group called the Crazi Boyz.
