Melvonta Jermaine Jacox, a 25-year-old Black man from Coon Rapids, was shot in the head in the front yard of a residence on the 2600 block of Irving Avenue North in Minneapolis on September 29, 2015, just before 4 p.m. He was taken to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale and died about 13 hours later; the Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed his identity and cause of death.

Jacox was survived by his mother, Melva Riggins, his father, Louis Jacox, and other relatives and friends. The Minneapolis Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but the case remains unsolved and no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced. Authorities continue to seek information that might lead to a break in the investigation.

Did anyone in the area around Irving Avenue North see or hear anything that afternoon that could help the investigation?
