On April 23, 2022, 29-year-old Darius Deshawn Light was fatally shot in south Minneapolis just before noon on the 4100 block of Portland Avenue while moving items from a residence. A dispute between Darius and his older brother, 42-year-old Anthony D. Light, reportedly began after Anthony slapped a person who was helping Darius; Darius pushed his brother, and Anthony then went inside the house, retrieved a .22 caliber rifle, and fired about six shots at Darius as he stood outside the passenger side of the helper’s car.

Darius was found about four blocks from the scene near 41st Street and Park Avenue and died at Hennepin Healthcare of a gunshot wound to the left side of his back. Witnesses said Anthony remained at the house and was arrested there. Officers recovered a .22 caliber rifle in the back of a vehicle Anthony had been seen using and two rifle magazines inside the home. Anthony D. Light was charged with second-degree intentional murder, second-degree assault, and being a felon in possession of a firearm; he has two prior felony drug convictions and is in custody with bail set at $1 million.
