Officials said Friday that the two men killed by gunfire one night this week were both outside the same apartment building in Minnesota when they were shot at the same moment before dying a block apart.
23-year-old Khalil Amer Bryant and 29-year-old Davante Lavar-King Reid were shot at 11:36 p.m. Tuesday in the 2800 block of Colfax Avenue S. In Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said. Bryant died immediately, and Reid died about five minutes later at a different apartment complex a block away, the Examiner’s Office noted.
A 34-year-old woman also was severely wounded by the gunfire and hospitalized, said police, who have yet to announce any arrests or speak about a possible motive.
Officers responded to the location of the gunfire, the Miles Uptown Apartments, and found Bryant and the woman inside an SUV after they had been shot, police said.
About five minutes later, officers were alerted to Reid inside the Track 29 City Apartments in the 2800 block of Bryant Avenue S., police said. Reid was down in a hallway and declared dead at the scene.
Police Sgt. Garrett Parten confirmed that the gunfire was part of a single incident.
“Investigators continue their work to determine who was involved, how each person is related to the incident, and what transpired,” a statement from Parten read.
