In the early morning hours of June 17, 2017, 18-year-old George Pineda was shot and killed while walking with a friend through Webber Park in Minneapolis. The pair were confronted by a man with a gun who ordered Pineda and his 17-year-old companion to the ground, robbed them of personal belongings, then opened fire as they lay there. Pineda was struck multiple times and died at the scene; his friend was not physically harmed. The shooting occurred around 3:18 a.m. in the area of Lyndale Avenue N. and Webber Parkway.

A nearby resident soon reported a suspicious man attempting to break into cars, and police captured 26-year-old Chance Adams a short distance from the park. He was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree aggravated robbery, and illegal possession of a firearm. Reportedly the robbery yielded about $40 and a cell phone.

Did anyone in the area that morning see the events in or around the park or recognize the suspect before police arrived?
