Minneapolis Daily Local Headlines: Double Homicide Probe, Major Closures, Target Field Food and Wine

Top story: Double homicide investigation in North Minneapolis

Minneapolis police are investigating a double homicide reported Monday afternoon in the Webber-Camden area. Officers were called to the 4200 block of Irving Avenue North around 3:30 p.m., and the scene remained active as detectives worked to sort out what led up to the deaths.

Officials have not released many details yet. Residents nearby should expect a larger police presence and possible street restrictions while investigators interview witnesses and process evidence.

Roadwatch: Big closures as construction ramps up

Drivers should brace for another round of detours as winter gives way to roadwork. State transportation crews are moving ahead with major improvements on Highway 280, including a full closure on a stretch of the corridor for resurfacing, drainage work, and bridge repairs. Interstate 394 is also slated for a weekend closure tied to ongoing work, which could squeeze alternate routes into and out of downtown.

• Build extra time into your commute and watch for changing conditions if weather shifts.
• If you can, consider transit or off-peak travel while crews are in the heaviest work windows.

On the calendar: Food and Wine Experience returns to Target Field

Looking a little further ahead, Target Field is preparing to host the annual Food and Wine Experience in mid-March, with multiple tasting events that spotlight local chefs and restaurants alongside wine, beer, and other beverage offerings. Organizers say the event runs March 12 through 15 and includes several ticketed options, from a wine dinner to larger tasting sessions on the weekend.

For locals, it is a reminder that spring event season is starting to fill in quickly, even if the streets still feel like February.
