Dwante B. Benson was 24 when he was shot on September 12, 2017, in the 4300 block of 4th Avenue S in Minneapolis and died four days later at Hennepin County Medical Center on September 16. Known as Poppy Loco, Benson was an aspiring rapper who had been active in the local hip-hop scene since 2013 and had plans to shoot a music video the day after his 24th birthday.

A 21-year-old woman was shot alongside Benson and survived with a gunshot wound to her arm. Police had not disclosed a motive and no arrests were announced immediately after the attack. Bullets recovered at the scene matched a gun that was in Benson’s possession when he was shot, a detail that prompted further investigation; information about suspects or arrests directly tied to Benson’s death is not clear.

Does anyone have information about Benson, the shooting, or the people who were at the scene that night?
