On the night of February 15, 2023, a burst of automatic gunfire on the 2800 block of Colfax Avenue South in Minneapolis left 29-year-old Davante Lavar-King Reid dead. Officers found Reid collapsed in the hallway of an apartment building on Colfax Avenue with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest; he had fled from a nearby black SUV that was riddled with bullet holes on the passenger side.

Inside the SUV was 23-year-old Khalil Amer Bryant, also fatally shot, and the female driver had a gunshot wound to the chest but survived. Investigators followed a trail of blood from the SUV to where Reid was found, and reported the shooting grew out of a drug deal arranged moments before Bryant arrived to sell drugs to Reid.

Police identified 25-year-old Immir Fyontane Rice on surveillance footage near the scene and charged him with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. The case file notes Rice had a prior aggravated robbery conviction that barred him from possessing firearms and that he was on probation for an illegal gun possession conviction at the time of the shooting.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity around Colfax Avenue South that night or know more about the arranged drug deal?
