Overview
- Five people were shot late Monday morning near the Midtown Greenway and Lake Street transit area, and eight were wounded late that night at a private homeless encampment at 28th Avenue and East Lake Street.
- Police say at least four victims from the encampment attack remain in life‑threatening condition, including two people found in tents with gunshot wounds to the head.
- Evidence from the encampment indicates an exchange of gunfire and multiple shooters, with investigators describing the late‑night incident as related to a narcotics dispute and the earlier shooting as a separate quarrel.
- The city cleared the encampment Tuesday and has fenced off the Midtown Greenway walkway, with a permanent barrier planned and an increased police presence supported by county and state agencies.
- No arrests have been announced; detectives are reviewing video, collecting evidence and pursuing leads, while the city’s legal fight with property owner Hamoudi Sabri over the encampment’s closure continues.
