Tonia Ariel Powell, 30, of Minneapolis was shot and killed in the early hours of July 23, 2023. Officers found her on the front steps of an apartment building in the 3100 block of 58th Street East in south Minneapolis, covered in blood with multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to Hennepin Healthcare and pronounced dead at 1:27 AM.

A second woman in her 30s was found inside the apartment building with life-threatening gunshot wounds and transported to the hospital. Prosecutors charged 20-year-old Calon Markus Hatchett on July 27, 2023, with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault; charging documents say the surviving victim identified Hatchett as the shooter and said he used to sell drugs at the building. No clear motive had been established and the Minneapolis Police Department continued investigating.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
