A 26-year-old St. Paul man was the victim of a South Minneapolis homicide on the Fourth of July, the medical examiner’s office announced Monday.

Mario Martinez Ramirez-Hernandez died in the emergency room of a gunshot wound of the head and neck.

Minneapolis firefighters were flagged down about 11:20 p.m. Friday to check a man who was unconscious on the ground in the 2700 block of Bloomington Avenue, and they immediately began CPR, according to Minneapolis police.

Police found evidence that multiple gunshots had been fired, and are investigating the circumstances of the shooting.

“Someone knows what happened to this man,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said in a Saturday statement. “We need anyone with information, no matter how minor it may seem, to share that information with us.”

Police asked anyone with information to contact them at policetips@minneapolismn.gov or by leaving a voicemail at 612-673-5845.
