A gathering in Minneapolis’ McKinley neighborhood on the evening of November 21, 2020, ended in deadly violence. At about 5:30 p.m. police were called to the 3700 block of North 6th Street and found 45-year-old Dillon Farkon Howard and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were taken to North Memorial Medical Center; Howard died there at 9:01 p.m. that same evening.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Howard’s death a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds. The female victim, described as in her 20s, remained in critical condition. The Minneapolis Police Department opened an active investigation but has not publicly identified any suspects and no arrests have been announced; the circumstances leading up to the shooting are unclear.

If anyone was in the McKinley area that evening or has information about the events on North 6th Street, please come forward to assist the investigation.
