MINNEAPOLIS (KFGO/WCCO) – A 16-year-old North High School student and multi-sport athlete is reportedly in stable condition after he was shot multiple times Wednesday night.
Police responded to shots fired around 8:30 p.m. and found the teen with gunshot wounds to both legs on the 2100 block of 8th Avenue North.
Relatives identified the boy as Cashmere Hamilton-Grunau. They said he and a friend were walking home when a car began following them. At one point, one of the teenage occupants asked if the boys were in a gang before opening fire.
The shooting comes just over a year after North student 15-year-old DeShaun Hill Jr. was shot and killed while walking home.
Hamilton-Grunau and Hill have been featured in Showtime’s “Boys in Blue” documentary about the Polars’ 2021 football season.
