MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The second of three young children shot during recent gun violence in Minneapolis has died, according to her family.
Nine-year-old Trinity Ottoson-Smith was shot in the head May 15 while jumping on a trampoline and died Thursday at North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, her father Raishawn Smith said in a social media post.
Minneapolis police said they were informed of the girl’s death late Thursday.
A City’s Inexorable Decline
Over the past year, Minneapolis has joined Chicago, Portland, Baltimore, Seattle, Detroit and St. Louis as cities whose futures look bleak on account of out-of-control crime. Scott wrote this afternoon about the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s tentative and belated acknowledgement that the city’s residents need to support their police department rather than interfering with attempted arrests. That would be a start, I guess.
But Minneapolis’s decline is precipitous and the hour is late. The Star Tribune itself reported this morning that Minneapolis is “bringing in outside help” from both state and federal agencies after four more people were murdered over the weekend.

As Minneapolis prepares to mark the anniversary of Floyd’s death Tuesday, it remains a city in turmoil, with many of the racial inequities highlighted during last year’s protests unresolved.
