The suspect in a deadly Minneapolis apartment shooting that claimed two lives and injured three police officers has been identified as 35-year-old Carlton Neal Johnson II, a resident of the Shoreline Plaza building who was facing eviction due to alleged threats and openly carrying a firearm on the property. Court records reveal Johnson was accused of assaulting a fellow resident in March and later entered the management office with a gun displayed, reportedly telling staff he had a new firearm and ‘would kill someone.’ Despite these serious allegations and a history linked to 34 criminal cases, including past assault and drug charges, Johnson had denied the eviction claims, with a court date scheduled for September 11th. The motive for the shooting remains under investigation, and it is unclear how Johnson himself died during the incident where officers were injured by gunfire after encountering gunfire and limited visibility inside the building.
