A man shot over the weekend on West Broadway in Minneapolis was identified Sunday as Shane L. Webb.

Webb, 25, of Minneapolis, was killed and a woman was wounded in the shooting, which happened at 3 a.m. in a parking lot behind Hook Fish & Chicken and Cookie Cart. Police had vehicles towed from the scene as part of their effort to collect evidence.

The woman was hospitalized at Hennepin County Medical Center and was expected to survive, police said.

The area where the shooting occurred, the 1100 block of West Broadway, has a troubled history. In July 2016, gunfire erupted during a large gathering there, leaving a 24-year-old man dead and two wounded. A memorial in the parking lot still marks the spot of the man's death.

A similar party was in progress Saturday morning when shots rang out. A bullet pierced the mobile police camera situated in the lot.
