Paul A. Knobbe, a 53-year-old handyman from Minneapolis, MN, was fatally shot on the night of November 1, 2016. The incident occurred around 10:10 p.m. near the intersection of Cedar Avenue South and 34th Street East in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood. Knobbe had just finished his shift at the Winner gas station and was walking home when he was attacked.
He was found in an alley suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Despite the efforts of law enforcement, no suspects have been identified or arrested in connection with Knobbe's murder. The Minneapolis Police Department has not released any descriptions of potential suspects, and the motive for the shooting remains unclear. Speculation among co-workers and neighbors suggests that it may have been a robbery gone wrong, but this has not been confirmed by the authorities.
The case remains open, and the Minneapolis Police Department continues to seek information from the public. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Minneapolis Police at 612-692-8477. The community and local media have also been involved in efforts to solve the case, with Crime Stoppers of Minnesota increasing the reward for information leading to an arrest.
