Sharing quiet sympathy and tears, a few dozen people gathered Saturday on the lawn outside a hospital in a vigil for a young boy shot Friday night in Minneapolis.
Ladavionne Garrett Jr. was shot while riding in a vehicle by someone outside the vehicle in the 3400 block of N. Morgan Avenue. The vehicle s driver took him to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where he was reported in very critical condition, police said Friday.
