Shell Gas Station Fire, Lake Street, Minneapolis

Burned Shell gas station on Lake Street in Minneapolis with smoke rising from the damaged store.
A Shell gas station on Lake Street in Minneapolis stands heavily burned on the morning of May 30, 2020, with smoke still rising from the convenience store behind the pump canopy. The damage followed overnight unrest after the killing of George Floyd, which led to fires and destruction along major commercial corridors in south Minneapolis. A Metro Transit bus stop and campaign signs remain in the foreground, situating the station within the everyday streetscape of Lake Street.
