On the night of December 3, 2022, 37-year-old Kenneth Todd Rodriguez was shot and killed inside the Spring Street Tavern on Monroe Street Northeast in Minneapolis. Surveillance video shows Rodriguez, a Hispanic and Native American man and a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, approach 42-year-old Patrick William Mincey. An altercation followed; Rodriguez was carrying a knife and was seen touching and chest-bumping Mincey. Mincey then produced a handgun from a sock and fired one shot that struck Rodriguez in the chest. Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:37 p.m.

Other patrons subdued Mincey after the shooting; bystanders beat him and he was treated at a hospital before being booked. Mincey has prior convictions for kidnapping and second-degree assault and was prohibited from possessing firearms. He was charged with illegal possession of a firearm and initially arrested on probable cause for murder, though murder charges had not been filed while the investigation continued; he was later released on bond. Rodriguez’s death was recorded as the 75th homicide in Minneapolis that year.
