Yesterday's shooting in Robbinsdale resulted in a fatality.

Shortly after 5 PM on Monday, December 2nd, officers from the Robbinsdale Police Department responded to the area of Lowry Avenue and Indiana Avenue on the report of the sound of shots fired. While in route, officers were advised of a crash detection from a cell phone in that area.

Officers arrived and located a single car crash. Officers made contact with the vehicle and located an adult male sitting in the driver seat suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers immediately rendered life-saving aid. The victim was transported to North Memorial Health Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The victim is believed to be in his 20s.

The Robbinsdale Police detectives are on scene and are working with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigators to collect evidence.

Preliminary investigation indicates that this is not a random crime and there is not any known threat to public safety.

The identity of the victim, along with the nature and cause of death, will be released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office in the coming days.

This is the first homicide in Robbinsdale in 2024.

WHY THIS NETWORK EXISTS: Local leadership will not provide sufficient information to the public about incidents happening in our neighborhoods. Mainstream local media also will not cover the bulk of incidents happening in our neighborhoods.

For over 10 years, the Minneapolis Crime Watch network has been researching and reporting on crimes and cases you won't hear about anywhere else, as well as providing essential information about failures in our criminal justice system that you need to know about.

The information you get here is provided as a public service, but it isn't free to produce. There are real costs incurred for equipment (scanners, recording devices, data storage, software, etc), subscriptions (Broadcastify, publications) and data costs (some cities/agencies charge for public information requests), etc. Not to mention the thousands of hours that have been spent by volunteers who research the info and cases and take the time to write up or summarize the information for publication.

If you value the time, effort and cost it takes to produce the information you see here, we ask you to support our efforts.
