[Mintwood-place] Latino Shot Dead Columbia & Sherman

[Jim Graham]

Dear Friends:
 
Early this morning, just after 1 AM, two Latinos were shot, one fatally,
at Sherman and Columbia. The other was shot in the leg, and is expected
to fully recover. Both were young adult males. I expect to have the
names shortly.
 
I am told that both live in Ward One. As the weather is heating up, I
hope we do not see violence heating up as well.
 
MPD is investigating these shootings also to determine whether they
might be gang related. If they are, that finding would be of great
concern since we have had little or no Latino gang related violence in
several years.
 
With our sympathy and prayers to family and loved ones, Councilmember
Jim Graham
 
I typically answer emails before 9 AM on weekdays. If you email me after
that, it is likely that you will hear from me the next weekday. If there
is a need to communicate prior to that, you may wish to call me.
