Daniel J. Mack Jr., 26, of Brooklyn Park, was fatally shot in the head on June 4, 2020, in Minneapolis. His body was found shortly after 9 p.m. that evening in a vehicle outside North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the gunshot wound to the head.

Minneapolis police believe the shooting occurred in the 3300 block of N. Colfax Avenue, where there were reports of gunfire. Investigators recovered more than 50 spent shell casings of various calibers at the scene. According to charges later filed, Mack and the driver of the Jeep he was riding in were members of the Low End gang and had been in territory controlled by the rival Tre Tre Crips when a verbal altercation escalated into multiple people outside an SUV firing at the Jeep as it drove away.

Three men — Donell Deon Flowers, Edward Lee, and Tylan Deaontae Bland — were initially indicted on first-degree murder charges. Those charges were dismissed after a key witness recanted, saying he had not been present and that his earlier statement had been coerced; prosecutors cited an inability to secure the witnesses needed to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the events on N. Colfax Avenue that night, please come forward.
