A 22-year-old man who was fatally shot in Duluth is identified as a student at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Police on Wednesday identified the victim as 22-year-old William Grahek of Duluth.
WDIO-TV reports Grahek attended UMD. Officers were called to a residence in Duluth's East Hillside neighborhood Tuesday afternoon. Grahek was taken to a hospital hospital. Police later confirmed he had died.
Police say no one is in custody. Officers have identified a possible motive but have not released any further information.
