While officials have yet to release the victim’s name, his family identified him as Myron Neadeau.
Alana Dickenson told the Star Tribune that her nephew was a “Woodland dancer in the powwow circle and has been on the drum since he was a young boy.”
Dickenson said he “had a passion for his culture. He really loved reconnecting with his roots” as an Anishinaabe.
There have been 77 homicides in the city so far this year, according to a Star Tribune database.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey invited the City Council to come back to the table and find a way to give raises to all city employees, but it’s not clear how.
