Deandre Intonio Smith, 33, was fatally shot in Minneapolis on June 5, 2021, around 2 a.m. The shooting took place near the light-rail stop on Hennepin Avenue and South Fifth Street. A Metro Transit police officer witnessed an altercation and saw a man shoot Smith; officers then shot that suspect in the leg.

Smith was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Kevion Jamal Gibbs of Mississippi, was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and taken into custody. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is handling the investigation because a Metro Transit officer discharged a weapon.

Two other fatal shootings happened in Minneapolis the same night: a woman dropped off at North Memorial hospital died before police could speak to her, and a man was killed near East Lake Street after being struck by a stray bullet during a fight involving people in cars. Does anyone have information about what led to the confrontation near Hennepin and South Fifth that night?
