Cup Foods, the business that set in motion the chain of events that ended with George Floyd's death, closed again after a brief reopening.
It seems as though the owners are concerned about the recent spate of shootings in the area. Despite the semi permanent memorial in the street in front of Cup Foods, there has been a significant increase in shootings in the area.

This comes against the backdrop of a recent spate of shootings throughout Minneapolis.
This seems to beg the question around any connection between that "abolish the police" message from city governmental leaders and the increase in shootings.
