Tabyis Paskins was 19 when he was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Minneapolis on the morning of August 3, 2016. Paskins and a friend were riding bicycles north on Logan Avenue heading to help Paskins’s grandmother when a group outside a house near Hillside Avenue called out to the friend. The pair ignored them and continued.

Several people from the group entered a red Jeep and chased the bicyclists. A back-seat passenger later identified as 17-year-old Marcel Tyrone Farr leaned out, questioned Paskins’s friend about affiliation with a group known as the Pack, then opened fire as the two tried to pedal away. Paskins was struck, rode a short distance, collapsed, and died later that morning. The county attorney said Paskins was not the intended target.

Officers were directed to the house; the red Jeep was outside and Farr and other juveniles were inside. Farr admitted firing multiple shots and was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; prosecutors moved to try him as an adult. If anyone knew Tabyis or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
