In the early hours of a Thursday morning in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the life of Kenneth Dwayne Wesson, a 48-year-old African-American male, was tragically cut short. On April 24, 2014, at approximately 12:45 a.m., Wesson was shot multiple times inside his residence on the 1100 block of James Avenue North. He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene just twelve minutes later.
Authorities were quick to launch an investigation into the shooting.
The Minneapolis police did not believe the incident was a random act of violence, suggesting that Wesson may have been targeted by his assailant. In the immediate aftermath, law enforcement actively searched for a suspect, appealing to the public for any information that might lead to an arrest in the case.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the belief that the shooting was not random, details regarding a specific suspect or any arrests in connection with the death of Kenneth Dwayne Wesson have not been publicly reported. The circumstances surrounding his murder left a void of information, and the case has been marked by a lack of publicly available updates on the pursuit of a suspect or suspects.
