Police said officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation just before 6 a.m. in the 1700 block of 26th Avenue N., where they found the man with life-threatening wounds.
Officers gave him aid until emergency personnel arrived, but he died at the scene.
His name and cause of death were expected to be released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner in coming days.
Investigators said they believe the shooting happened after a fight at a nearby party spilled onto the street.
“Today, tragically, another family has been ripped apart by gun violence,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said in a statement. “Our investigators are committed to solving this crime and giving a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves.”
One man was arrested at the scene for disorderly conduct, but investigators were looking into whether he played a role in the shooting.
Anyone with information about the incident was asked to contact Minneapolis police.
The proposal stops short of criminalizing smoking cannabis in parks, and Park Board commissioners have issued a range of opinions on what kind of policy to enact.
