Minneapolis police are searching for suspects in two homicides that happened over the weekend.
"We have no arrests in either of the homicides," spokesman Jesse Garcia said this morning.
On Saturday, officers responded to reports of a shooting just after 10 p.m. in the 2900 block of Bryant Av. N. When police arrived, they found one man lying in the street. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was identified Sunday night as Naquain D. Brown, 35, of Minneapolis.
Police found a second victim lying nearby. That person, whose name has not been released, was taken to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale. A third victim involved in the shooting was admitted to Hennepin County Medical Center. He was still being treated for a gunshot wound Monday morning, police said.
Around 1 a.m. Sunday, a man whose name has not been released, was shot dead early Sunday in an alley in the 400 block of 24th Avenue N.
The two homicides bring the number in Minneapolis to 26 for the year.
