Quinntrail Young, 34, was shot during the early-morning hours of April 9, 2023, at a house near 1806 Russell Avenue North in Minneapolis where a gathering had drawn many people. Police were called just before 4:30 a.m. and found him outside the home with gunshot wounds; he was taken to North Memorial and pronounced dead at 5:00 a.m. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

Early accounts describe a confrontation at the gathering that escalated into gunfire. Charging documents reported at the time say Young bent to tie his shoe after returning to the front of the house and was struck in the head and neck when a man who was exiting the door drew a handgun and fired before fleeing in a car. Investigators alleged the shooting arose out of a rivalry between neighborhood street gangs; the complaint mentioned location data from a suspect’s phone and other forensic details such as blood on a witness’s shoes.

If anyone who attended that April gathering or who was near Russell Avenue North that night has information, please come forward.
