Police said the man was being taken to the hospital. Officers provided aid until an ambulance arrived. The man later died at the hospital.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim on Wednesday as 28-year-old Deleon Daniel Davis, of St. Paul.
The shooting scene was located on the 4400 block of Lyndale Avenue North where a "building had been rented for an after-hours party," police said. There, officers had to manage a large crowd and after clearing the building, they located evidence of a shooting and recovered three handguns.
"Preliminary information indicates that a verbal altercation between individuals who knew each other escalated to gunfire. Multiple shots were fired inside a building occupied by a large crowd," police said.
Several hours later, a man in his 40s arrived at North Memorial Hospital suffering from a non-life threatening injury. Police said preliminary information shows he was injured in the shooting incident at the party.
An investigation is underway. No arrests have been made.
