A 22-year-old Hastings man was killed Monday evening in Robbinsdale in what police are calling a targeted shooting.
Officers responded to reports of gunfire near Lowry Avenue North and Indiana Avenue North shortly after 5 p.m. on December 2.
En route to the scene, police received an alert from a crash detection system indicating a single-car collision in the area.
When officers arrived, they found a vehicle that had struck an object and located the driver, later identified as Treyvon Marcellis Molette, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. Officers provided emergency medical aid until Molette was transported to North Memorial Health Hospital. He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at 5:34 p.m.
