Minneapolis, Minnesota – September 4, 2025 — Authorities have formally charged Tiffany Lynn Marie Martindale, 30, and Ryan Timothy Quinn, 33, in connection with a deadly mass shooting that took place on August 26, 2025, near 29th Street East and Clinton Avenue South in Minneapolis. The shooting left one man dead and six others critically injured. The two individuals are charged with aiding an offender to avoid arrest, though authorities are still actively searching for the suspected gunman, who remains at large.

The Tragic Shooting
On the evening of August 26, 2025, gunshots rang out near 29th Street East and Clinton Avenue South, a busy area of Minneapolis, where a large crowd had gathered. Responding officers discovered one man deceased at the scene and found six others suffering from gunshot wounds. The situation quickly escalated, with multiple law enforcement agencies and medical personnel arriving on the scene to secure the area and treat the injured.

Dozens of .223 shell casings were found on the ground, suggesting the use of an AR-style rifle in the shooting. Witnesses reported seeing a gray Honda Civic circling the block before stopping in front of the crowd. Surveillance video revealed that the shooter exited the passenger side of the vehicle and began firing into the crowd. After the shooting, the car sped off, and the gunman was seen fleeing on foot.

Local residents were stunned by the violence that had erupted in their neighborhood. The incident has shaken the community to its core, with many questioning how such a senseless act of violence could occur in what had previously been considered a relatively quiet area. In the aftermath, the investigation into the identities of the shooter and his accomplices began in earnest.

The Role of Tiffany Lynn Marie Martindale and Ryan Timothy Quinn
Law enforcement soon focused their investigation on Tiffany Lynn Marie Martindale and Ryan Timothy Quinn, two individuals believed to have aided the gunman in his escape and attempted to assist him in evading arrest. According to court documents, Quinn’s vehicle, the gray Honda Civic, was identified as the one involved in the shooting. Surveillance footage from the scene showed the vehicle circling the block before the shooting occurred.

Witnesses provided key evidence, with one person reporting that they saw a man in the passenger seat of the Honda, later identified as the gunman, step out of the vehicle and open fire. Investigators tracked the car’s movements after the incident and saw it return to Quinn’s home in Inver Grove Heights, just a short time after the shooting. At that point, they noticed that the rear license plate had been reattached, which led authorities to suspect that the car was being intentionally altered to avoid identification.

Investigators’ Findings
Following the shooting, investigators began to piece together the details of the events leading to the violence. Ryan Quinn and Tiffany Martindale were seen driving together in the vehicle, which had been identified as the one involved in the shooting. In interviews with law enforcement, Quinn admitted to picking up a man he knew only as “Bino”, who directed them to the scene of the shooting. After the shooting took place, Quinn and Martindale drove “Bino” to north Minneapolis, where they dropped him off and then fled the area.

Further investigation revealed that Martindale’s phone contained multiple calls to “Bino” on the day of the shooting. Additionally, searches made on her phone were linked to a McDonald’s near the scene of the shooting, reinforcing the idea that Martindale and Quinn had been in close proximity to the location in question.

The couple’s involvement was further corroborated by surveillance footage, which showed Quinn and Martindale driving the car to and from the crime scene. Martindale was identified as the passenger, while Quinn was behind the wheel. This evidence has played a critical role in the charges filed against the pair, with authorities now holding them responsible for aiding and abetting the shooter’s escape.

Charges and Bail
On Tuesday, September 3, prosecutors filed charges against Martindale and Quinn, accusing them of aiding an offender to avoid arrest. Both individuals face up to three years in prison if convicted. During their court appearance, bail was set at $100,000 with conditions or $250,000 without conditions for Martindale. Quinn’s bail was set at $150,000 with conditions or $250,000 without conditions.

The conditions of their bail include no contact with the victims, restrictions on the possession of weapons, and close probation monitoring. Both defendants remain in custody as the investigation continues and legal proceedings move forward.

Search for the Gunman: Who is “Bino”?
While Martindale and Quinn have been apprehended, the identity of the shooter, known only as “Bino”, remains a mystery. Authorities are actively searching for the suspect, though details about his identity or whereabouts have not been disclosed by law enforcement.

The investigation has intensified as police attempt to track down “Bino”. According to law enforcement sources, they believe that he may have been involved in other violent incidents or crimes in the past, though no official criminal history has yet been confirmed. As of now, investigators are focused on finding the individual responsible for the deadly shooting and ensuring that justice is served.

“We are continuing to investigate and have made significant strides in locating the suspect,” said Detective Tom Matthews of the Minneapolis Police Department. “Our priority is to bring the individual responsible for these deaths into custody, and we encourage anyone with information to come forward.”

Community Reaction: Shock and Grief
The tragic events surrounding the mass shooting have sent shockwaves through the community. Minneapolis residents have expressed disbelief over the violence that took place in their neighborhood. Many were horrified to learn of the details surrounding the shooting, particularly the involvement of two individuals who were close to the scene but did not intervene to stop the violence.

“We never expected something like this to happen in our community,” said John Foster, a local resident. “It’s just terrifying to think that something so senseless could happen right here.”

Family members of the victims, many of whom were wounded in the attack, have also expressed their grief and frustration over the senseless loss of life. “It’s devastating to know that someone could be so cruel,” said a relative of one of the victims. “We want justice for our loved ones, and we won’t stop until the shooter is caught.”

A Call for Justice
The community, while deeply saddened by the tragic events, has rallied around the victims and their families, demanding justice for the lives lost and the individuals affected. Many local leaders have called for a thorough investigation and stronger measures to prevent future incidents of gun violence.

“This is a heartbreaking tragedy,” said Mayor Jacob Frey in a statement. “We will continue to support the families of the victims and work with law enforcement to ensure those responsible are held accountable.”

As the investigation progresses, the people of Minneapolis are left grappling with the aftermath of a senseless act of violence that has left a deep mark on the community.
