Fourth victim killed in the shootings in Minneapolis

The fourth victim at a shootout in Minneapolis on Tuesday was identified by the Medical Examiner of Hennepin County.

Leras Francis Rainey, 28, from Minneapolis, died on Thursday in Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis, less than two days after the shot.

The other three victims are Joseph Douglas Goodwin (17) from Minneapolis, Merelle Joan White (20) from Red Lake and Evan Ramon Denny, 27. All victims were shot near the corner of 25th Street East and Bloomington Avenue. Everyone was indigenous.

A fifth person was also shot, but survived. Although the public prosecutor had a serious gunshot wound in the face, the public prosecutor said that the only survivor spoke to the police and identified the shooters.

The police say that a shootout is connected to the first on Wednesday. The 34-year-old Tiago Antonio Gilbert from Minneapolis died in this incident on several shot wounds outside of minoci-bimaadizi-wing apartments in the Cedar Avenue South. The medical examiner said that Gilbert was also indigenous.

The Hennepin County public prosecutor charged James Duane Orane Ortleley, 34, in connection with the shootout. Ortley is charged with a second degree murder and attempted murder. His first court appearance was set for Monday.

According to the indictment documents, the surviving victim informed the officials that Orleley had been in a car with all five victims. He supposedly shot the others in the head in the car in his heads and left the scene on foot. The investigators said they had received a surveillance video in which a person showed shortly before the police.
