On the night of October 25, 2020, 25-year-old Joshua-lee William Boyce was shot multiple times and found bleeding in the doorway of his father’s home in the 1700 block of North Emerson Avenue in Minneapolis. He was able to speak with responding officers and identified his shooter as a friend, naming Brent Buchan, before dying the next day at the hospital.

The shooting followed a planned meeting between the two men. Boyce had left his father’s house to buy marijuana from Buchan; the men had recently had a falling-out after Buchan accused Boyce of involvement in the killing of another friend, though Boyce reportedly believed the issue had been settled. Surveillance video from an alley in the 1700 block of North Fremont Avenue shows Boyce leaving a car, Buchan following, producing a gun and opening fire. Facebook messages recovered by investigators confirmed the meeting had been arranged that night.

A few weeks later Brent Buchan, 23 at the time of the killing, was arrested; he initially denied contact with Boyce that night but acknowledged the online messages when confronted. If anyone knew Joshua-lee Boyce or saw him in north Minneapolis that night, can you share information that might help clarify what happened?
