The victim was identified Thursday as 37-year-old Mikiyel Deshone Patton, of Minneapolis.
Police say information led them to believe the shooter fled into an abandoned home nearby. SWAT team members eventually raided the residence, but no one was inside.
About an hour before the shooting, bullets shattered windows at a daycare center about two miles north that was full of children who had just been visited by Santa Claus. No one was hurt, and police say one man was arrested and a gun was recovered near the scene. It's unclear if that man was connected to the shooting.
