Man dies, suspect arrested in Edina shooting

A man died at the scene after a shooting in an Edina strip mall parking lot Saturday, according to a city of Edina news release.

Police arrived at the 3500 block of 70th Street W. around 9 p.m. and found the man badly injured in the parking lot of the Original Pancake House and other stores, near a Target store and across 70th from the Galleria shopping center. Paramedics and police officers tried to save him, but he died at the scene, the release said.

A 21-year-old Minneapolis man who stayed at the scene was arrested on suspicion of murder. The suspect is believed to have known the victim. The investigation continues.

The death is Edina's second homicide in less than two weeks. A man was fatally stabbed at an Edina bus stop near the Cub Foods on Nov. 22.
