On the afternoon of August 26, 2020, Eddie George Gordon, a 61-year-old Black man, was shot and killed inside the MTC Transit Station Ramp A in Minneapolis. A dispute involving Gordon, a 38-year-old man later identified as Eddie Frank Sole Jr., and a woman escalated; Sole drew a gun and fired, striking Gordon in the head and neck. Gordon was found dead when police arrived at about 2:10 p.m. The woman was detained for questioning; Sole fled and was located later that evening on Nicollet Mall, where he died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound as officers approached him.

Both Gordon and Sole had connections to the nearby Salvation Army’s Harbor Light Center: Gordon had occasionally stayed there and Sole had been a resident for roughly two and a half years. The exact nature of their relationship and what sparked the deadly argument have not been established. If anyone saw events at the MTC ramp or has information about Gordon’s movements that day, please share what is known.
