On July 10, 2022, just before 2 a.m., 22-year-old Ivan James Juarez Redday was found lying between two parked vehicles in the 2500 block of Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis after officers heard gunfire in the Little Earth community. He was taken to Hennepin Healthcare but died from a gunshot wound to the chest less than half an hour later. Investigators recovered 11 discharged 9-millimeter casings at the scene, and nearby vehicles showed bullet holes and blood.

Ivan, born June 19, 2000, in Minneapolis, worked at FedEx and enjoyed basketball and music; he was close to his brothers and much loved by family and friends. Police treated the incident as the city’s 47th homicide of the year and early reports said Redday had been in a parking lot and was confronted by at least one person he knew just before the shooting. In August 2022, investigators asked the public to help identify two people seen in a convenience store photo who might have information about the case.

If anyone has information about Ivan, his movements that night, or the people pictured in the convenience store photo, please come forward.
