Mijamin Forest identified as shooting homicide victim

​Mijamin Forest, a 29-year-old man from Brooklyn Park, has been identified as the victim of a South Minneapolis homicide, the Star Tribune reports.

Police were called to the 3200 block of Blaisdell Avenue South around 8 p.m. on Friday night, where they found Forest shot outside of an apartment building. Forest was declared dead at the scene.

No arrests have been made in the case, which has been turned over to the Minneapolis Police Homicide Unit.
