MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minneapolis police say a woman’s suspicious death overnight on the city’s north side is being investigated.
At 3:16 a.m., Minneapolis police officers who were on patrol in the area were flagged down by a motorist, who told them they found a car with a person who looked to be deceased. Police responded to the area of 17th and Bryant avenues where they found a car in the middle of the street.
Inside the car, a woman in her 30s was found deceased in the backseat. Due to “trauma visible” on the victim’s body, a suspicious death investigation was initiated.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can be submitted electronically here.
The area where the reported murder took place has been overrun with violence in the overnight hours. WCCO-TV has not sent a crew to the scene for safety concerns.
This overnight incident may be the second death connected with the nights of unrest following the death of George Floyd on Memorial Day.
