Tyrone D. Rice Jr. was 16 when he was shot while sitting in a parked car on Lyndale Avenue North near 27th Avenue North in Minneapolis on October 15, 2015. Shots were fired into the vehicle in the afternoon; Rice was struck in the head and died the next day. Three other people were in the car at the time, including an infant in a car seat.

Minneapolis police opened an investigation but made no immediate arrests, and authorities did not release suspect descriptions or names. Rice’s teachers and members of the community remembered him as kind and respectful; his death added to a wave of shootings in the Twin Cities during that period.

Anyone who was in the area that afternoon or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
