MINNEAPOLIS -- Authorities have announced the name of a woman shot and killed by her mother during a fight Saturday morning in north Minneapolis.

Pope's death is the 11th homicide of the year in Minneapolis.
Her 39-year-old mother was taken into custody but has yet to be formally charged with any crime.
