TyNeisha Pate was 20 when she was shot and killed in north Minneapolis on the night of January 30, 2018. Shots were reported about 9:45 p.m. in the 1800 block of Lyndale Avenue N.; police initially found nothing at that scene, but Pate’s body was later discovered on the side of the road in the 2200 block of the same avenue. Bystanders and a friend pulled her from a vehicle and performed CPR, but her injuries were fatal.

Her mother, Shell Pate, later identified her publicly. Friends described TyNeisha as devoted to her family and her young daughter, and not involved in gangs or drugs. A GoFundMe was set up to help cover funeral costs. By July 2018 the case remained unsolved, with no arrests and few new leads; the family reported frustration over limited communication from police and has reached out to potential witnesses while continuing to seek answers.

If anyone has information about TyNeisha’s movements that night or saw activity along Lyndale Avenue N. between the 1800 and 2200 blocks around 9:30–10:00 p.m., please come forward.
