Dion Darnell Nathaniel Toney, a 27-year-old resident of Minneapolis, MN, succumbed to his injuries on September 21, 2014, following a shooting incident that occurred on August 8, 2014, at the 400 Soundbar, a nightclub located in downtown Minneapolis. The shooting took place around 1:40 a.m. and resulted in multiple victims, including Toney, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed that Toney died from complications related to these injuries, and his death was classified as a homicide.
The incident at the 400 Soundbar was particularly violent, with nine individuals being shot, including Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Linval Joseph, who suffered a minor gunshot wound to the calf. The nightclub, which had been the site of several violent incidents in the past, was subsequently closed after the shooting when the owner surrendered the liquor license. Minneapolis police indicated that the shooting was likely gang-related and that the gunman had a specific target in mind.
As of the latest reports, the investigation into the shooting was ongoing, and no arrests had been made. Minneapolis Police spokesman John Elder mentioned that investigators were making progress but did not confirm earlier reports about the gang-related nature of the incident. The search for the shooter continued, with authorities working diligently to bring those responsible to justice.
