26-year-old man shot dead in car occupied with children identified

A man shot in the head while in a car with two children has been identified as a 26-year-old Minneapolis man.

The Hennepin County medical examiner said Joseph Milligan was the man shot to death on the North Side Tuesday. He died from his injuries the next day.

No arrests have been announced.

Investigators believe the man was sitting in a vehicle in the 400 block of 23rd Avenue N. with an adult and two children when someone shot him from outside. A ShotSpotter notification around 8 p.m. alerted police to four gunshots in the area.

Officers arrived and found Milligan with a life-threatening gunshot wound, providing medical aid until paramedics took him to North Memorial Health in Robbinsdale. The medical examiner's office said Milligan died around 6:36 p.m. the next day.
