Firefighters Find Body Inside Minneapolis Apartment; Police Make Arrest

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minneapolis police are investigating the city’s 41st homicide of the year after a man was found dead inside an apartment south of downtown Sunday morning.

Firefighters were first called to the building on the 1700 block of 3rd Avenue South just before 9 a.m., but they arrived to find no sign of fire.

Instead, crews found a deceased man inside an apartment “believed to be in his 60s” with non-thermal injuries.

Police were called, and officers soon arrested a 55-year-old man at the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.
