Ali Abdula Reed, 26, was shot and killed on June 25, 2023, just before 1 a.m. near the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East Franklin Avenue in south Minneapolis. Police responded to reports of a shooting at about 12:50 a.m. and found Reed with life-threatening gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office later confirmed he suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses reported hearing an argument before the shots were fired, indicating the violence may have begun as a dispute. At the time of the initial reports no arrests had been made and the investigation was ongoing.

Reed was born December 29, 1996, and relatives described him as smart, loyal, funny, and fearless. Does anyone in the Minneapolis area remember seeing or hearing anything near Chicago and East Franklin that night?
