Urgent Update: Suspect ‘Down’ After Border Patrol Shooting in Minneapolis

UPDATE: A suspect is reportedly “down” following a shooting involving a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis this morning, January 24, 2026. This incident comes just 17 days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, raising significant concerns about federal law enforcement actions in the area.

The City of Minneapolis confirmed via its social media account that it is “aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement” near 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. The city urged residents to “remain calm and avoid the immediate area” as they work to gather more information.

According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, multiple law enforcement sources indicate that a Border Patrol agent fired the shot. Medics are currently attending to the suspect, whose identity and the circumstances leading to the shooting remain unclear.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that the suspect was armed with a gun, which has been recovered. A photograph shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation shows a weapon and two magazines believed to belong to the suspect.

Local leaders are responding strongly to the incident. Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz expressed his outrage on social media, stating, “This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.” His statement underscores the escalating tensions surrounding federal law enforcement’s presence in the state.

Residents are advised to stay vigilant as the situation develops. The City of Minneapolis has committed to providing updates as more information becomes available.

This remains a breaking news story, and further developments will be reported as they unfold. The urgency of the situation underscores the critical need for transparency and accountability in federal law enforcement actions.
