Around 12:40 a.m., police arrived at the parking lot behind the former Whiskey Junction bar on the 900 block of Cedar Avenue S. and found a man in his 40s badly injured by gunshots, Minneapolis police said in a news release. After officers administered care, the man was taken to Hennepin Healthcare, where he died.
