A woman is caught in a crossfire, dying from a gunshot wound to the chest On the evening of October 28, 2016, Dana Latrice Logan, a 46-year-old African-American female, was tragically killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Just moments after dropping off her grandchild, she was driving her vehicle near the intersection of 36th Avenue North and Penn Avenue North. It was there that a bullet from what police believe was an exchange of gunfire between other individuals pierced her car window and struck her in the chest.
The sudden violence of that night marked her as
the city's 32nd homicide victim of the year. Logan was not believed to be the intended target but rather an innocent victim caught in the crossfire. The sound of the gunshots that ended her life was heard by her own family members who were in a nearby house.
More than a year after her death, Dana Logan's case remained unsolved. The investigation was hampered by a lack of witnesses coming forward with information. As a result, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with her murder. Her family has been left to grieve while continuing to hope for justice for the woman they described as the "glue" that held their family together.
