Boy, 15, fighting for his life after shooting involving stolen Kia in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS – A 15-year-old boy may not survive a shooting that happened Thursday evening in Minneapolis.
Police say bullet casings were seen on the ground near West Broadway Avenue and North Fremont Avenue at about 5:30 p.m., as well as evidence of a stolen car.
Investigators believe someone drove the boy to the hospital in another stolen car, dropped him off, and then ditched it near North 39th and Lyndale avenues.
A WCCO News crew at the scene saw that the Kia's ignition had been ripped out in order to start it without a key. WCCO News has filed several reports recently on the surge of car thefts in the Twin Cities, especially involving Kia and Hyundai automobiles.
