A North Mankato, Minnesota, teenager was shot and killed Saturday night after posting a video of himself on steps with a bag of $100 bills sitting beside him.
KEYC noted the shooting occurred shortly after 11 p.m., followed by a vehicle crash.
Police responded and found 17-year-old Tyson Michael Goodsell inside the vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound.
The City of North Mankato used a press release to explain: “Officers located Goodsell in the vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound and immediately initiated lifesaving measures. Goodsell was transported by ambulance to Mayo Clinic Health System-Mankato, where he was later pronounced deceased.”
The Minnesota Star Tribune noted that Goodsell and his mother spoke on the phone about an hour before he was shot Saturday, and he told her he wanted to get a tent to go camping with a friend. His mother “joked with him about why he’d want a tent so late at night.”
The Daily Mail indicated that police believe “Goodsell was not shot at random and his death is being investigated as a homicide.”
