Justice for Gabriel “Dino” Mendoza

Gabriel “Dino” Mendoza was killed on the evening of October 16th, 2022 at Firehouse Uptown in Minneapolis. Gabe was working security when he was shot trying to protect others and died at the scene. Gabe was the 71st homicide in Minneapolis in 2022 alone. Gabriel is his mother’s only son, a twin, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend. He was only 23 years old when his life was taken at the hands of senseless gun violence. Still no arrests have been made. As we continue to seek justice, funds have long since depleted. This fundraiser will remain open to fund keeping Gabe’s story out there as we search for those involved. Funds support the costs of investigators, billboards, printing flyers, and other activities in search of Justice for Gabriel “Dino” Mendoza. If you’d like to donate directly, please use Venmo (@Katrina-Mendoza-7876) or CashApp ($DoItForGabe16) with the note “Justice for Gabriel”

While the investigation continues, the family has turned efforts to address gun violence through a series of community input sessions called “Fight Back!!” - Any funds raised will go directly to finding justice for Gabriel and hosting the series of community meetings to create change, hear and address solutions and identify ways to support future families impacted.
