Minnesota Law Enforcement Leaders Announce Plan to Curb Gang Violence
The effort will use Minnesota’s Crime Gun Intelligence Center to share evidence, build cases and stop retaliation after a string of metro shootings.
- On Monday, more than 40 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies announced a new partnership in Blaine, Minnesota, to address gang and group violence across the Twin Cities metro area.
- Investigators linked a recent string of shootings across the Twin Cities to Somali youth gangs, with violent incidents occurring in Edina, Eden Prairie, and Bloomington prompting the coordinated response.
- Under Minnesota's Crime Gun Intelligence Center, agencies will coordinate information sharing and direction to benefit gang-related investigations, with leadership stating the goal is to 'coordinate, deconflict, provide direction and facilitate information sharing.'
- Federal partners, including the ATF and FBI, will focus on the most dangerous individuals and pursue federal cases, including RICO prosecutions when appropriate, while county-based quick reaction teams enable rapid response.
- Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt emphasized that individual actions do not define the entire community, urging the public to end 'unnecessary stereotyping of an entire community' as investigations proceed.
