Three deaths that occurred within 11 hours are under investigation by Minneapolis and St. Paul police departments. The investigations come after a heightened homicide tally in 2019 for both cities. “What we would like to think is that we can turn the page on what was a violent year and move on from there,” said St. Paul Police spokesperson Steve Linders, “but for us, the hard work of addressing violence related to guns doesn't begin or end at a calendar year."
