Kalvin Montrell White, 24, a Black male, was shot and killed in north Minneapolis on August 10, 2012. In the early hours of that Friday, police were dispatched to the 3100 block of Dupont Avenue North after reports of gunfire; responders found an adult male inside a residence on that block who died of his injuries. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner was to release the victim’s identity and cause of death, and subsequent public case listings and memorial records identify the victim as Kalvin Montrell White. Local case summaries place the scene specifically near 3107 Dupont Avenue North and note that he suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.
Accounts gathered in the days after the shooting describe a chaotic, close-range attack at a home on that block. A contemporaneous neighborhood blog citing early newspaper reporting said White’s girlfriend discovered him on her porch with a gunshot wound and tried to perform CPR until police arrived. While that detail has circulated in community coverage, official releases at the time remained brief, emphasizing only the location on the 3100 block, the fatal shooting, and the discovery of an adult male victim at the scene.
Police said on August 10 that they were looking for a suspect, interviewed people at the scene, and that no arrests had been made. There is no public record of a later arrest or publicly named suspect tied to White’s killing, and cold-case style listings still describe the case as unsolved years later. Anyone with information was historically directed to contact Minneapolis authorities.
