Tensions flared as city officials began clearing a south Minneapolis homeless encampment Tuesday morning, hours after a shootout late Monday night left eight people injured — the second mass shooting that day on the city’s South Side.
At about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday, a crowd of about 50 former encampment residents and protesters gathered outside police tape as city workers placed bicycles, tents, other belongings and debris in the back of garbage trucks. At least one person was detained after scuffling with officers, who yelled, “Back up!” at swarming onlookers.
The shooting occurred at the private encampment set up by prominent Minneapolis landlord Hamoudi Sabri, a parking lot behind a vacant building he owns on E. Lake Street, city officials said. Sabri has been in a battle with the city for months to keep the encampment open — ignoring $15,000 in citations and daring them to get a court order.
Gunfire erupted around 10 p.m. at the site near Lake Street and 28th Avenue S., drawing a large presence of police, city officials and onlookers to the scene. Less than 12 hours earlier, five people were wounded in a shooting not far from the intersection of Lake Street and Interstate 35W, about 2 miles west.
