STORYLINE:
A fourth person has died from a mass shooting in Minneapolis earlier this week in which investigators believe a fifth person was killed hours later in retaliation, police said Friday.
The 28-year-old man had been hospitalized in grave condition since the shootings late Tuesday, and died Thursday shortly after federal authorities arrested a 34-year-old suspect, the Minneapolis Police Department said in a statement.
The murder charges allege the suspect was in a vehicle with five other people when he shot them all in the head before fleeing. One of them survived and was able to identify the suspect to police.
Police say the victims were Native American. The shootings have shaken the large Indigenous community in the Phillips neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis.
Newly unsealed murder charges against the Minneapolis man allege he and members of his family are associated with a gang known as the Native Mob. It operates in the city’s south and other parts of Minnesota, the charges say.
The gang was the subject of a multiyear federal investigation over a decade ago that resulted in the convictions of 28 people. Its alleged leader at the time was sentenced in 2014 to 43 years in prison.
The complaint gave no details on what might have prompted the shootings. Police Chief Brian O’Hara said during a news conference Thursday that authorities were still investigating.
A 20-year-old woman, a 17-year-old boy and a 27-year-old man died at the scene in the first shooting, which happened on Tuesday just before midnight in a vehicle parked in a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood.
A 20-year-old woman was shot in the face and hospitalized in critical condition, the complaint said. She said the shooter was sitting in the back seat when he opened fire on all four other people in the vehicle before fleeing on foot.
