Minneapolis Encampment Shooting Sparks Urgent Action on Unsheltered Homelessness

A man was killed in a shooting at a homeless encampment in Minneapolis that was scheduled to be cleared this week. The 45-year-old victim was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the hospital. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are unclear, and an investigation is ongoing. The encampment, known as "Camp Nenookaasi," has been plagued by public safety and health issues, including previous shootings and the discovery of a deceased baby. City officials had delayed the eviction to find housing for the residents, but some neighbors are calling for the encampment to be closed due to ongoing problems. A suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting.
