MN: Gunfight, Shooting at Homeless Encampment was Self Defense

The man suspected of fatally shooting a 45-year-old man at a major south Minneapolis homeless encampment will not be charged with murder, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office said Friday.

Witnesses said the suspect fired at Tyrone J. Mohr after Mohr started a fight, county officials said.

Mohr was shot multiple times at the encampment known as Camp Nenookaasi, located near the intersection of E. 23rd Street and S. 13th Avenue. He was taken to HCMC and died soon afterward.

Police arrested the suspect near the encampment; a gun was found nearby, police spokesman Aaron Rose said.

The County Attorney's Office said it believes the shooter was acting in self-defense and that available evidence would not support a murder charge.
