Speaking at the crime scene, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara expressed dismay about another act of violence in Minneapolis involving a teen.
"We have a serious issue with juveniles repeatedly involved in the system and repeatedly involved in more and more serious crime," said the chief. "Any death is tragic, but anytime we lose a young person on a holiday weekend, that is particularly disturbing for all of us."
