On the evening of June 3, 2020, 18-year-old Mohamedwelid Mohamud Muse, a Black male, was shot at the intersection of 15th Avenue South and 24th Street East in Minneapolis’ Phillips neighborhood. ShotSpotter detected the gunfire and officers found Muse suffering severe injuries; he was transported to Hennepin Healthcare and pronounced dead at about 8:27 p.m. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

An older man was found nearby with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators say a dispute appears to have preceded the shooting, and the suspects had fled before police arrived. Members of the Minnesota National Guard, activated after George Floyd’s death, assisted officers at the scene. No arrests have been publicly announced and the Minneapolis Police Department’s homicide investigation remains open.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about who was involved, please contact investigators.
