A 25-year-old Minneapolis man died following complications from a gunshot wound to the neck Wednesday, nearly three months after being shot in south Minneapolis.

Johnny Birzavi Sanchez Sanchez was struck by gunfire near E. 31st Street and Clinton Avenue in the city's Central neighborhood on July 25. Minneapolis police responded to the area around 1:30 a.m., where officers rendered aid until paramedics arrived. Preliminary information indicated that shots were fired from a nearby vehicle at Sanchez, who was riding a motorcycle, striking him in the neck.

He was taken to HCMC and later transferred to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where he died Oct. 16.

No arrests have been made in the case, a police spokesman confirmed Friday.
