Man dead after shooting in Brooklyn Center parking lot
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. -- A man is dead after a shooting in a Brooklyn Center parking lot Friday afternoon.
The Brooklyn Center Police Department says officers responded to a report of a shooting on the 6900 block of Brooklyn Boulevard shortly after 3 p.m.
A nearby school went into lockdown as a result of the shooting, police say.
The victim was brought to an area hospital in critical condition but died later Friday evening as a result of his injuries. He was later identified by the medical examiner as 42-year-old Kevin Wallace.
Police continue to search for a suspect, who they believe left the area immediately after the shooting.
A carjacking happened days earlier at the same intersection as Friday's fatal shooting. Police say an elderly man who was pumping gas was "assaulted repeatedly" by two young men before the suspects grabbed the man's keys and fled in his vehicle.
