Chartez Wells Clark, 22, was fatally shot in Minneapolis in the early hours of June 12, 2017. Officers responding shortly before 2 a.m. to what was initially reported as a single-vehicle crash found a van that had struck a tree and a fire hydrant near West 32nd Street and Blaisdell Avenue South. Clark was slumped behind the steering wheel and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Hennepin County Medical Examiner listed cause of death as a gunshot wound at 1:44 a.m., and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators determined the van had been reported stolen from Brooklyn Center days earlier and opened a homicide probe, canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses. No arrests or suspect information were released in the immediate aftermath. Friends and family remembered Clark, known as Chubbz, on social media as the community sought answers.

Did anyone in the area around West 32nd and Blaisdell that night see or hear anything that could help explain how this shooting occurred?
