Woman struck in mass shooting at Minneapolis homeless encampment dies of her injuries

https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minneapolis-homeless-encampment-mass-shooting-fatality/

A 30-year-old woman who was among those shot at a homeless encampment in Minneapolis on Monday has died of her injuries, according to authorities.

A Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson identified the victim as Jacinda Oakgrove, and said she died at the hospital Thursday.

Police on Friday said they are still working to "determine the sequence of events that led up to the shooting." One man was arrested on Thursday for potential aiding and abetting after the fact, police said, but he has since been released.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara earlier said investigators could not rule out a connection between the two shootings at the encampments. Both incidents were believed to have been perpetrated by more than one shooter.

Can the police at least search for weapons in these camps? Frequently? question everything Sep 2025 #3
Bet there would be strong opposition to that. Hope there is a solution. Silent Type Sep 2025 #5

7. Are you thinking the homeless are shooting up themselves?

It’s not impossible, but it is highly improbable as:

* Few homeless people have guns, which are expensive to buy and need bullets (more money) to work.
* Two homeless encampments were shot up by multiple people.
* Comes less than a week after Kilmeade suggested killing homeless people.
