An 11-year-old boy was shot and killed near a Minneapolis park in broad daylight, police said, and now investigators are urging the public to help them make an arrest. The gunfire erupted at Folwell Park around 2 p.

Investigators say the shooting happened while vehicles were driving through the park, though the exact circumstances and how many people were involved are unknown.

Marvin Walker Jr., identified as the boy’s uncle on a GoFundMe page, calls 11-year-old Amir Atkins “a beacon of light in our lives – a joyful, loving child whose laughter filled our hearts. He had a unique spark that touched everyone he met, and his absence leaves a void that can never be filled.”
