Residential video newly released by Minneapolis police shows a suspect removing a man from an SUV who had been fatally shot and driving off with two accomplices.
Police are sharing the video and still images with the public in hopes of identifying and finding the three in connection with the shooting on Oct. 3 that left a man in his 20s dead.
The shooting occurred about 3:15 p.m. near N. Fremont and 26th avenues. The man died two days later at HCMC. Police are withholding his identity but said he was 24 years old.
One of the suspects was captured in the video pulling the motionless man from the front passenger seat of the SUV, whose passenger-side window appeared to have been struck by gunfire.
Sgt. Garrett Parten said the vehicle had been carjacked at gunpoint earlier on the day of the shooting.
The SUV was set on fire after the shooting and found abandoned west of S. Hiawatha Avenue in the Ericsson neighborhood, the sergeant said.
Witnesses there reported seeing three masked males running, hearing an explosion and spotting smoke coming from the SUV, according to Parten.
