Police: Fatal shooting in Mpls stemmed from fight [RAW]

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara held a press conference regarding a fatal shooting that stemmed from an altercation on the 1500 block of 11th Avenue South.

The backstory:

According to court documents, on July 15, just before 6:30 p.m. officers responded to a shooting on the 1500 block of 11th Avenue South in Minneapolis.

At the scene, a man was found with a gunshot wound on the porch of a home in the area, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dig deeper:

Charges say that witnesses told officers that Gregory arrived at the home after texting a woman who lived there saying,"come out."

That woman told police Gregory and another woman showed up and were trying to "fight." The woman who resided at the home said that Gregory backed up into the street at one point and allegedly started shooting "everywhere," and the victim was shot and killed, court documents said.

Investigators learned that Gregory was allegedly "demanding" $40 from the woman who lived at the home, who had a previous relationship with Gregory and reportedly borrowed money from him, the charges said.

The deadly shooting was the second time Gregory had been to the home on July 15. Gregory allegedly showed up at the house earlier in the day with another man who was threatening people with a gun, court documents said. The other man was taken into custody.

The woman who lived at the home told investigators when Gregory texted her to come out, she went out of the house with her two sisters.

According to court documents, the woman with Gregory was allegedly trying to fight one of the sisters. Gregory then said, "don't touch her, or I am gonna blow at you," which is slang for "I will shoot you".

Gregory then took out a gun and started shooting at everyone, and the victim was sitting on the porch of the home and got fatally shot, the charges said.
