MINNEAPOLIS — A Richfield man has been sentenced after he fatally shot a woman who was allegedly stealing from his van in 2024.

A Hennepin County court sentenced Luke Cain to 60 months, or five years, for second-degree murder, without intent, for the shooting.

Court documents say Minneapolis police officers were dispatched to the 4500 block of Hiawatha Avenue shortly before 4 a.m. after a 911 caller reported a woman inside a pickup that appeared to have been shot. Squads arrived and found the woman inside a grey Ford F-150, who had been shot in the head. First responders rushed the woman to the hospital in critical condition but she did not survive.

Investigators reviewed reports of gunshots over a larger area and eventually found a call that originated in the area of 6200 5th Ave. S.
