The suspect is a 17-year-old male and is being held at the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center. Because he is a juvenile, police are not releasing his name.

The teen was arrested Friday night by the Violent Criminal Apprehension Team and homicide investigators, the police department announced today.

The shootings happened Wednesday night at the Seward Market & Halal Meat at 25th Avenue South and East Franklin Avenue. Police have said that two men walked into the store about 7:40 p.m. and shot three people dead. The victims and the shooters were likely Somali immigrants, police said earlier this week.

Palmer said investigators are still piecing together information to determine what the motive for the shootings was.
