Paris Tracie Love, a 32-year-old Black man from Minneapolis, was fatally shot outside a business on the 1700 block of East Lake Street on the evening of June 16, 2021. The shooting occurred around 6:10 p.m. when a vehicle pulled up, an individual exited and fired multiple rounds at Love before getting back into the car and fleeing. A nearby Minneapolis police sergeant heard the shots and officers provided medical aid and CPR, but paramedics pronounced Love dead at the scene at about 6:17 p.m. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Minneapolis police said they believed the shooting was not random and appeared planned by someone who likely knew Love. Investigators reported having leads on the suspect and the vehicle involved. On June 23, 2021, police arrested 34-year-old Deandre Freeman of Brooklyn Park after spotting him driving the vehicle, which had been reported stolen, and charged him in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree intentional murder; the criminal complaint alleges Freeman approached Love and shot him multiple times in the neck and back. No motive is specified in the complaint.
