Minneapolis police were investigating a double homicide in north Minneapolis on Wednesday morning.

Police were canvassing the area of 46th and Penn avenues N. There was a secondary scene on the 4300 block of Oliver Avenue N.

Police responded to the first call around 10:04 a.m. When they arrived, police saw two suspects fleeing south. Officers caught one of the suspects and returned to find a tan SUV with two dead individuals inside.

Neighbor Delray Meanweather identified one of the victims as his brother, Odell Frazier.

Frazier is reportedly in his mid-40s and recently moved to Minneapolis from Chicago.

Frazier apparently had nine children and was a stay-at-home dad.
