Cops in Mankato, Minnesota have spent days searching for a woman supposedly shot during a disturbance at a birthday party on Sunday was not shot after all.

Turns out the “blood” was actually taco sauce.

According to the Mankato Free Press:

Witnesses had reported a woman was shot after Mohamed Ahmed Ali, 23, allegedly shot a gun during a disturbance at the Eastport apartment complex at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

Cops supposedly did find a rag with real blood on it, but it turned out that the stains in a hallway, which one witness thought was blood, was actually taco sauce as was the red stains on the clothing of the woman that was supposedly shot.

At the scene of the “shooting” cops found a gun and unfired ammo, no shell casings.

They did however turn up a broken taco sauce bottle.

One can’t help but wonder if the Detroit Police crime lab help investigate the case…
