Leroy L. Morris, 34, was shot to death late the morning of December 27, 2021, in the 3700 block of South Park Avenue in Minneapolis. Morris, who had no permanent address, died of a gunshot wound to the torso; the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide. Police described the incident as a domestic situation rather than a random attack, and it was counted as Minneapolis’s 96th homicide that year.

A 15-year-old boy was identified, taken into custody and booked into a juvenile detention center on suspicion of murder. Reports in the days after the shooting noted that no formal charges had yet been announced and investigators were still determining the relationship between Morris and the teenager and the events that led to the shooting.
