On the evening of December 16, 2020, 55-year-old Jeffery Adam Mintz was shot while working as an Uber Eats driver in Saint Paul, Minnesota. His Toyota Prius came to rest after crashing into a bus shelter near University and Snelling Avenues; Mintz was found inside with a gunshot wound, called 911, received aid at the scene and was taken to Regions Hospital, where he died about two hours later. His death was St. Paul’s 32nd homicide that year.

Mintz, a former attorney who had turned to delivery work after his company failed to launch, was a father of two and was due to attend his daughter’s wedding in less than two weeks. He was known locally for singing in bands, hosting karaoke, and for having served as president of B’nai Israel Synagogue in Rochester.

Investigators believe the shooter fired from another vehicle; police later released an image of a Dodge minivan seen fleeing westbound on University Avenue immediately after the shooting. Crime Stoppers of Minnesota and the family have offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Mintz or saw the Dodge minivan that night, please share what you know with investigators.
