Four people were killed by gunfire: two civilians, Minneapolis Police Department officer Jamal Mitchell, and the gunman Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed.

He said via a radio transmission that he observed two men with injuries, who were later identified as a wounded bystander and Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed.

[4][5][8][11] Other police officers entered the apartment building and found two gunshot victims, a deceased person and another with life-threatening injuries.

[5][6] Mohamed Bashir Aden, a 36-year-old man from Columbia Heights, was found inside the same apartment with life-threatening injuries and he was transported to a hospital.

[5] Mitchell, a 36-year old police officer[4] was transported from the scene to nearby Hennepin County Medical Center where he died that night.

[17][16][11] Authorities identified Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed (October 4, 1988[18] – May 30, 2024),[2][8] a 35-year-old Minnesota resident, as the gunman who shot at Mitchell multiple times and was subsequently killed in an exchange of gunfire with police.

[19] In 2022, Mohamed was arrested after reports of a robbery in downtown Minneapolis when he was allegedly seen with a firearm, which violated the terms of his prior state sentence.

[21][22] Mitchell's death was also part of an upward trend in reported attacks on law enforcement officers in Minnesota.

[5] At a press conference on the evening of the shooting, BCA superintendent Drew Evans who viewed a video of the incident, described Mitchell's death as the result of an ambush-style attack.

[5] Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, police chief O'Hara, U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, and several elected officers officials made public statements honoring Mitchell as a heroic figure.

[24] Michell's death was compared to the last two Minneapolis police officers killed in the line of duty, Jerry Haaf in 1992 and Melissa Jayne Schmidt in 2002.

[22] A public memorial service for Mitchell was held on June 11, 2024, at Maple Grove Senior High School.
