South Minneapolis - SHOOTING.
Police arrived, one person is shot in the head.
28th and Blaisdell Ave
@MplsWard10 Chughtai
(two people were shot in the same area last night, and we told you it was a problem area)
Squad 561 520
22:40
2/ Suspect in this shooting: Somali M, thin, long hair, black sweater, black Adidas pants with a white stripe on the sides, in a silver Tesla.
3/ The person was shot in the face with an entry wound to the cheek, no exit wound. He was awake and alert on the way to the hospital.
We're told there was significant law enforcement activity at the Chanhassen autoplex facility this morning.
We're checking for conformation on the details.
2/ Likely related.
Details of the death and circumstances are not confirmed.
Other posts indicate his specialized vehicle is still missing.
3/
What we've been able to piece together... Part of this took place in Minneapolis overnight and may also be connected to a shooting or death (or other incident) in Chanhassen prior to that.
The above person, Daniel, was apparently found deceased in a downtown Minneapolis apt/condo this morning on Washington Ave S. after being the subject of a welfare check overnight. He was named as the shooter in the Chanhassen incident (which has not yet been disclosed by authorities).
Neighbor from Hell, thread. 1/ John Herber Sawchak, DOB: 05.19.1970
Currently wanted on at least two warrants. One is an assault case from 2022, the other is a civil mental health case where Sawchak was deemed "mentally ill and dangerous."
2/ A police report was made in March in a separate assault case with another neighbor. Formal charges have yet to be filed because Mary Moriarty's office declined to charge a felony. Now the city attorney will review for possible lesser charges.
The same victim has had numerous run-ins with Sawchak as evidenced by the pile of MPD blue cards they've collected.
South Minneapolis - A caravan of illegally parked vehicles have gathered on Dean Parkway along with about 300 people. Park Police say they are preparing begin some kind of rolling demonstration/protest, but they won't tell police what it's about or where they're going.
