MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The North Minneapolis community is reeling in grief and disbelief following the heartbreaking loss of Ladre Frmdaapp, who tragically passed away after a late-night shooting on the 2900 block of Russell Avenue North. The devastating incident, which occurred shortly before 11 p.m. on Sunday, has left family, friends, and neighbors mourning the sudden and senseless loss of a beloved member of their community.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department, officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire in the area late Sunday night. Upon arrival, they discovered an adult male, later identified as Ladre, suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts from emergency responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have not yet released details about possible suspects or a motive behind the shooting, and the investigation remains active.
Neighbors described the terrifying moments that unfolded that night, recalling the sound of multiple gunshots echoing through the otherwise quiet street. “It happened so fast,” one resident said. “We heard the shots, and then sirens. It’s heartbreaking — he didn’t deserve this.”
Ladre Frmdaapp is remembered by those who knew him as a kind, loyal, and hardworking individual with a bright spirit that could light up any room. Friends say he was deeply devoted to his loved ones and was known for his infectious smile and unwavering positivity. His loss has sent shockwaves throughout the community, particularly among those who grew up alongside him in North Minneapolis.
Community leaders and local organizations have spoken out against the continuing cycle of gun violence that has claimed yet another young life. “We cannot allow these tragedies to become normal,” said one neighborhood advocate. “Ladre’s death is not just another statistic — he was a son, a friend, a neighbor. We owe it to him and to all victims to fight for safer streets and a stronger sense of community.”
As detectives continue to investigate, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The Minneapolis Police Department’s CrimeStoppers line remains open to anonymous tips that may assist in bringing those responsible to justice.
A candlelight vigil is expected to be held later this week near the site of the shooting, as loved ones gather to remember Ladre and celebrate his life. Balloons, flowers, and heartfelt messages already mark the corner where he took his last breath — a growing memorial that stands as both a tribute and a painful reminder of a life cut short.
As Minneapolis mourns, one thing is clear: Ladre Frmdaapp’s memory will not be forgotten. His family and friends vow to honor his life, seeking peace and justice in the wake of a tragedy that has once again left a community shattered and searching for answers.
