A man is killed in a late night shooting Jaquan Demario Oatis, a 28-year-old man, was shot and killed on August 12, 2016, in North Minneapolis. He was found on the sidewalk in front of 2939 Morgan Avenue North, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Despite a prompt investigation by the Minneapolis Police Department and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, no suspects have been publicly identified, and the case remains unsolved.
Oatis was known within his community and left behind friends and family who continue to mourn
his loss. His death occurred during a period of heightened violence in Minneapolis, and he was one of several victims of gun violence that month. Despite the availability of a gunshot detection system that led officers to the scene, crucial details about the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear.
As with many unsolved cases, authorities rely heavily on community members coming forward with information. The family of Oatis, alongside law enforcement, hopes that someone with knowledge of the incident will help bring justice to his memory and closure for his loved ones.
