Family IDs teen shot to death outside his Minneapolis residence

A 17-year-old boy was fatally shot Monday night outside his home in Minneapolis, officials said.

The shooting occurred about 7:10 p.m. in the 1100 block of E. 25th Street in the Phillips neighborhood. Officers arrived and found the teenager inside his home with multiple gunshot wounds, according to police.

Officers gave the boy immediate medical attention, but he died in the residence, police said.

The teenager was “with others when shots were fired,” a police statement read. “He ran inside his residence and collapsed.”

No arrests have been announced.

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.

At the same time, she said, Neadeau “also was a rapper who made music with his friends. ... He was musically talented, and he had a passion for self-expression through his rap.”

There have been 76 homicides in the city so far this year, according to a Star Tribune database.
