Miguel Viveros Morales, 28 and from Chicago, was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest in an alley in the 3500 block of North Bryant Avenue in Minneapolis. The shooting occurred on September 30, 2020; emergency responders reached the scene after a ShotSpotter alert and transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police officers traced the investigation to a nearby house on the same block. Behind that residence they found a car with its door open and, at the house, encountered 30-year-old Derelle K. Todd, who was initially uncooperative and taken into custody. A gun with a live round was recovered on a bed Todd shared with his girlfriend; forensic testing linked that gun to the cartridge casing recovered near Viveros Morales’s body. Charging documents filed in Hennepin County District Court accused Todd of second-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm. The complaint did not set out a motive.

If anyone knew Miguel, saw activity around North Bryant Avenue on September 30, 2020, or has information about what led to this shooting, please share what is known.
