An 18-year-old from Columbia Heights was arrested in the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old boy Friday night at a Brooklyn Park market, police said.
The shooting happened about 9:45 p.m. at the African Market, 5700 Brookdale Drive. There, officers found the teen with "numerous gunshot wounds," police said in an alert shared on social media Friday night.
"Officers immediately provided emergency medical aid and the victim was transported via ambulance to a nearby hospital where he later died."
The 18-year-old, from Columbia Heights, was being held at the Brooklyn Park Police Department jail on suspicion of second-degree murder, police said Saturday, not releasing any further details, other than "We are not currently seeking any further suspects." The Star Tribune does not name suspects until they are charged.
The victim's identity will be released by the Hennepin County medical examiner's office.
