A teenage girl was killed and several other people were injured in a hit-and-run in downtown Minneapolis early Saturday, and the suspected driver, Latalia Anjolie Margalli, 22, was arrested, police say.

The incident happened when a vehicle drove into a crowd at 12:23 a.m. on Fifth Street North at Hennepin Avenue, according to a news release from the Minneapolis Police Department.

Six injured people were taken to Hennepin Healthcare Hospital, according to the release. One of them was a 16-year-old girl. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

A 29-year-old woman has potentially life-threatening injuries. Two other girls, both 14, have non-life-threatening injuries, as do a 24-year-old man and a 28-year-old man, according to the release.

“There aren’t words to describe how tragic and senseless it is to lose a 16-year-old female over something like this,” Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara said in the release. “There were at least a dozen people in the immediate path of the vehicle as the suspect drove through the crowd.”

According to the release, an altercation between a group of people took place in the middle of Fifth Street. Then Margalli got into a vehicle, drove in reverse on Hennepin Avenue, then drove the wrong way on Fifth Street and into the crowd, it alleges.

Margalli drove out of downtown and was followed by witnesses, according to police. Minneapolis officers, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Minnesota State Patrol troopers stopped her vehicle on the 2300 block of Bryant Avenue.

“We are thankful because it’s clear we could have had more fatalities, and more people injured. We will continue to investigate this incident, as senseless as it is, and try and determine what the motive for this could possibly be,” O’Hara said.

According to the release, Margalli was arrested and booked into the Hennepin County Jail on suspicion of murder.

The investigation is ongoing, police say.
