Eloe Aki Ameen Lomax was a 23-year-old Black man from Minneapolis remembered by some as a joker and a ladies’ man with an interest in music. His life ended on the evening of April 27, 2022, when he was struck by gunfire in a drive-by shooting in the Folwell neighborhood. Just before 6 p.m., officers found Lomax in a vehicle near North 33rd Avenue and Knox Avenue North with gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen; he was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide and listed it as the city’s 28th homicide that year. Investigators tied the killing to a violent rivalry between groups known as the Highs and the Lows and identified Lomax as associated with the Highs. A defendant later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder by drive-by shooting in connection with Lomax’s death, resolving the case.

Did anyone in the Folwell area know Lomax or observe activity near North 33rd Avenue and Knox Avenue North that night?
