Victim named in Minneapolis strip club shooting
Authorities have identified a woman who was shot to death in a downtown Minneapolis strip club.
The Hennepin County medical examiner's office says 32-year-old Lakisha Marie Neal, of Minneapolis, was shot in the head just after 1 a.m. Saturday at Augie's Bourbon Street Cabaret. She died at the scene.
Police say another woman turned herself in about 9 a.m. Saturday. Police say the killing didn't appear to be random, but haven't given details of what led to the shooting.
Friends and family gathered outside Augie's for a peace vigil Saturday night. They said Neal was a single mother, raising a teenage daughter, and worked as a personal care assistant for the disabled and elderly.
