A 24-year-old man was killed in north Minneapolis on the morning of September 22, 2022. Brenell Michael Green, a Black man who had moved to Minnesota from Baton Rouge, was struck by gunfire near Groveland and Nicollet Avenues just before 9:30 a.m. He ran from the scene and collapsed at East 19th Street and First Avenue; a bystander tried chest compressions before paramedics arrived. Green was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the torso.

Police investigators identified a 24-year-old suspect, Darius Dontay Sharp, through convenience-store surveillance footage. Authorities say the shooting may have followed an earlier altercation in the store in which Sharp was beaten, and that the case involved related retaliatory shootings; Sharp was arrested and charged with second-degree unpremeditated murder in Green’s death plus two counts of first-degree attempted murder for other shootings. Green is survived by his father, his girlfriend, and his young son.
