On the afternoon of Saturday, December 7, 2024, 23-year-old Ramone Rashawn Blue of Stewartville, Minnesota, was shot and killed in a parking lot on the 8000 block of Brooklyn Boulevard in Brooklyn Park. The shooting occurred around 2:00 p.m.; police found Ramone and another man with gunshot wounds and began providing aid. Both were taken to North Memorial Health Hospital; Ramone, who had been shot multiple times, died and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide. The other victim was seriously wounded with gunshot injuries to the neck and leg and was expected to survive.

Surveillance footage and court documents say a BMW pulled into the lot, waited for the two men, and that the vehicle’s driver fired 16 rounds. The BMW fled and was later found abandoned. Investigators tracked a phone number, executed search warrants, and identified a person of interest; police described a possible gang motive and linked Ramone to the Lows and the accused shooter to the rival Highs.

Is anyone from Brooklyn Park or Stewartville able to share information about Ramone, his activities that day, or the shooting?
