Glam Doll Donuts shooting update
Meanwhile, Governor Tim Walz tweeted about the incident. “I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now,” he wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
"We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area," the city of Minneapolis said on X.
This comes as thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city’s streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave. Protesters have gathered daily in the Twin Cities since Jan. 7, when 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, identified as Jonathan Ross. Federal law enforcement officers have repeatedly squared off with community members and activists who track their movements.
Yes, according to reports from January 24, 2026, the suspect involved in the confrontation with federal agents in Minneapolis has died.
The incident occurred yesterday morning (Saturday, Jan. 24) in the Whittier neighborhood near Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street. Here is the breakdown of what has been reported:
The Shooting and Fatality
The Outcome: A man was shot by federal agents and was later pronounced dead. Initial reports varied regarding his age (some said 51), but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara identified him as a 37-year-old white male and a resident of the city.
The Federal Account: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that Border Patrol agents were conducting a "targeted operation" when the individual approached them with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. DHS claims the suspect "violently resisted" a disarming attempt, leading an agent to fire "defensive shots."
The Local Account: Chief O’Hara stated the man was a U.S. citizen and a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. He noted that the victim's only previous law enforcement interactions were for traffic tickets.
The Emerging Videos
Videos of the incident have been circulating on social media and analyzed by news outlets. These clips show a chaotic scene:
The Struggle: Footage appears to show a group of federal agents struggling with a man on the ground.
The Shooting: In some clips, shots are heard while the man is on the ground. Open-source analysts and some witnesses have raised questions about whether the man was already disarmed before the final shots were fired.
Protests: Following the shooting, large crowds gathered at the scene, leading to standoffs where federal agents reportedly used chemical irritants and flashbangs to disperse protesters.
Context of Tension
This is the second fatal shooting involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis this month. On January 7, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, a mother of three and a U.S. citizen, during a separate immigration enforcement operation.
The repeated fatalities have led to a major rift between local and federal officials. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has publicly called the situation "sickening" and urged the federal government to pull the thousands of agents out of the state immediately.
