"In a press conference held early Monday morning at the park, Police Chief Brian O'Hara said reports of gunfire first came in at about 9:30 p.m., with his officers and Minneapolis Park Police officers arriving to find a "very chaotic scene" involving at least 100 people.
Three men were found suffering from gunshot wounds in the park, while an injured woman was found in a vehicle near the park's entrance at 11th Avenue Northeast and Sibley Street Northeast. O'Hara said she later died at Hennepin Healthcare.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner has identified the woman as 23-year-old Stageina Katraya Shapryia Whiting of Brooklyn Center."

"Two more men later arrived at an area hospital. Of the five survivors, O'Hara says one suffered apparent life-threatening injuries while the rest suffered non-life threatening injuries.
A woman was also believed to have been knocked unconscious in the melee that followed the shooting. Her condition is unknown."

"In a statement Tuesday, Parks Superintendent Al Bangoura said that “following Sunday’s horrific incident, which does not appear to be a random shooting at this time,we installed a mobile camera and increased patrols at Boom Island Park.”
“We will continue to consider other safety measures, as needed, including future closing of parking lots.”
The shooting and its aftermath were familiar to one in 2022, when seven people were shot and critically wounded during a large July 4 gathering."
