On the evening of May 29, 2021, 19-year-old Edwin Lydell Vaughn Jr was shot and later died at North Memorial Health Hospital. The shooting occurred just after 9 p.m. in the 2600 block of N. Upton Avenue in Minneapolis following an argument between Vaughn and his girlfriend; she told him her brother wanted to fight, and Vaughn and that brother began fighting in front of onlookers. During the altercation three gunshots were fired; Vaughn was privately transported to the hospital with a chest wound and later succumbed to his injuries.

Minneapolis police initially found no victim at the scene and learned later that a man with a gunshot wound had arrived at the hospital. The killing was recorded as the city’s 34th homicide of the year. Investigators later arrested a teenager; court documents say video surveillance captured the juvenile standing next to a car, firing three times, then leaving, and that family members reported the teen admitted by phone he started shooting to clear the scene.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Edwin?
