The Phillips neighborhood, where this shooting occurred, has seen its share of violent crime in recent years, and this incident will likely raise concerns among residents about public safety. With 26 homicides in Minneapolis so far this year, community leaders and city officials will be under pressure to develop effective strategies to reduce violence.
