This was the incident on East 25th Street late Tuesday night, the first of a wave of shootings that have happened in the last 24 hours. Sammy Selina joins us live with the breaking details. Sammy. Hi Julie. That's right. 3 people died Tuesday night. 2 people were injured in that shooting, and police say they believe that they found the man responsible. His name is James Ortley. He's 34, and he was arrested less than 3 hours ago. Now police, they are asking help and that others may be involved, so they're asking the public help with two other homicide. That happened the day after on Wednesday, a man was killed in broad daylight. Police believe that that was a retaliatory shooting in response to the mass shooting Tuesday night, and PD says Ortley is responsible for. They say, however, Ortley was not involved in that Wednesday night shooting. Police say they're happy with the progress, but more work needs to be done. This is a significant step forward in what has been an intense and fast moving investigation. Into the most violent incident this city has suffered this year, we believe that other individuals may be involved in the 1500 East 25th Street incident or they may have key information that could help bring justice to the victims and their families. Now family members have identified one of those victims as Joey Goodwin, a 17 year old boy. I spoke with his mother on the phone. She says that Joey had a good heart, was a good kid, and he will be missed by many. Back to you. So sad. Thank you, Sammy. We're going to continue our coverage now with Jessica Hart, who attended a prayer ceremony with members of the native community today. Jessica, Julie, it was an emotional morning. Native American leaders tell me this violence is a result of decades of neglect by those in power, and now they have to figure out how they can move forward as one. Beyond the fence you can hear. A community's heartbeat. This is a horrific thing that has happened to our community. Mike Forsha is the chairman of the American Indian Movement Twin Cities. In a span of 14 hours, 4 people killed. Forsha says they were all native. We are in mourning. we're doing this community prayer so our people can heal from the tragedies that broke out in the past 48 hours. Kelani Fremont here -- to heal -- hearts. Sweetgrass along with sage are two of our sacred medicines that we use for prayer and healing. Fremont says Sweetgrass represents roots to Mother Earth. Burning it is a way to help heal those in little earth. So this right here is a prayer fire they lit it so that way when we send when we put our medicines into the fire they're able to go up into the spirit world. A community in mourning, healing together. -- This is -- just one step into a long road of mental recovery. We needed that prayer. We needed the community to come together. Coming together as a community like this doesn't just heal ourselves, -- but it heals everybody around -- us coming together as one to feel the beat. And heal a community's heart. When someone in the native community dies, traditionally the community mourns for 4 days. During that time period, Forsha says they continuously burn multiple fires, one for each person at multiple locations, and he says they are in need of some firewood. So if you have some to spare, they're asking you to drop it off at Red Lake Nation Embassy."}]
