Sherman Lashawn Antonio Frazier

Sherman Lashawn Antonio Frazier, a 23-year-old Black man from Coon Rapids, Minnesota, was one of two young men killed in a shooting on the afternoon of June 6, 2022. The fatal incident occurred inside an apartment complex in his home city.

The violence unfolded shortly before 4:50 p.m. at a building near 94th Avenue Northwest and Springbrook Drive. Investigators believe a dispute among three men escalated into an exchange of gunfire. When police and paramedics responded to reports of shots fired, they discovered three wounded men inside the apartment.

Medics administered aid at the chaotic scene, but Mr. Frazier and 21-year-old Elijah James Stangler of Anoka had suffered critical injuries. One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was later declared dead.

A third man involved in the altercation sustained only minor injuries. After receiving medical treatment, he was taken into custody by authorities. However, he was later released pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation. As of June 2022, the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office was continuing to investigate the circumstances that led to the deadly shootout. The case remains unsolved.
