Michael Damion Wayne Polk, 32, was fatally shot in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on August 9, 2016. A violent altercation led to the shooting; witnesses reported seeing a male flee the scene shortly afterward. The fleeing suspect was described as male, late twenties to early thirties, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, medium build, short dark hair, last seen in a dark hoodie and jeans.

Police later identified and arrested a 29-year-old named John Doe on charges of first-degree murder. Authorities said John Doe matched the witness description and had a prior record that included assault and robbery. Investigators conducted witness interviews and reviewed surveillance footage as part of the case; a trial was scheduled later that year.

Polk’s family and friends remembered him as kind and caring, and the community held a vigil in his honor. If anyone has information about the shooting or remembers seeing the described suspect in the area, please come forward.
