Nathan D. Hampton, a 19-year-old from Minneapolis, Minnesota, was tragically shot and killed on July 22, 2018. On that day, Nathan posted a haunting message on Facebook, 'Watch the company you keep,' just hours before his death. He was attending a kickball tournament at North Commons Park, a popular event that drew nearly 400 people, when gunfire erupted. Officers arrived at the scene around 7 p.m. and found Nathan unresponsive.
Despite attempts to revive him with CPR, he was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to a local hospital.
Nathan was remembered by his sister, Ella Hampton, as a smart, athletic, and motivational young man who was deeply loved by his family and friends. The community was shaken by his death, and during a memorial gathering at the park the following day, more gunshots were fired, highlighting the ongoing violence in the area.
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with Nathan's murder, and the police have not identified any suspects or provided a motive for the killing. The lack of media coverage and the absence of significant leads have left Nathan's family and the community seeking justice and answers. The investigation remains open, and authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward.
