Gregory J. Turner, 52, was killed during a home invasion at his duplex in the 1400 block of 17th Avenue North in Minneapolis’ Near North neighborhood on the evening of March 23, 2020. Turner had been working that day painting the upstairs unit; the front door was left open to ventilate paint fumes. A downstairs neighbor, bloodied and shaken, came upstairs with a suspect close behind.

The assailant — reported wearing a black ski mask and armed with a sawed-off shotgun — barged into the upstairs unit, demanded money and drugs, and shot Turner when he tried to de-escalate. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from a shotgun wound to the chest. The shooter took money from Turner’s pockets and fled; another person in the home was assaulted but did not require hospitalization.

Minneapolis police collected evidence, including nearby surveillance video, but the suspect had not been publicly identified and no arrests had been announced. Did anyone in the area see or record suspicious activity around 17th Avenue North on March 23, 2020?
