Shane A. Johnson, 42, of Minneapolis, suffered numerous “sharp force injuries” at the Abbott Apartments in the 100 block of E. 18th Street and died there shortly before 3 p.m. on Dec. 18, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
Police have posted on social media two public transportation surveillance photos of a man they believe was involved in the killing.
Sgt. Garrett Parten said Friday that MPD’s “investigators have asked that I reach out to [news] affiliates in New Orleans and surrounding parishes with the request for help to identify the person.”
