Minnesota Authorities Need Help Now Identifying Suspect In 3rd Degree Assault

When a crime takes place in any Minnesota community, authorities look to bring the guilty parties to justice, no matter how long it may take.

This summer, a 3rd degree assault occurred in Northern Minnesota, and now police have reached a point where they need help to identify a suspect in the crime.

In Minnesota, 3rd-degree assault is a felony offense that occurs when a person assaults another and causes substantial bodily harm, like a fracture, temporary but substantial disfigurement or impairment, or a temporary loss of consciousness.

It's also when the assault involves a past pattern of child abuse against a minor, or when an assault causes harm to the head, eyes, or neck of a child under four. Penalties can include imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of up to $10,000.

Northern Minnesota Authorities Need Help Identifying Suspect

Recently, the Duluth Police Department reached out to the public through Facebook, asking for help in identifying an individual whose image was captured by a security camera.

According to authorities, the individual is a suspect involved in a 3rd Degree Assault that occurred on Friday, July 8, 2025. After a thorough investigation, they weren't able to identify the individual, so they're hoping they can do so with the help of the community.

The individual is described as a male wearing a gray shirt and white cargo shorts, and he was last seen in the 1130 block of East Superior Street driving a small white SUV.

Anyone with information on the incident, or who knows who this person is, should call the Duluth Police Department’s SCAN Unit at (218)-730-5070 and reference ICR#25101531.
