Former Maplewood Public Safety Director Scott Nadeau.
His son was assaulted by the phone thieves Friday night in #MplsDowntown. (We posted about the thieves last night - it's a regular occurrence).
The son is hospitalized with a brain bleed, skull fractures. #SeeYouDowntown
.
Police also indicated that they had a vehicle towed from a nearby parking lot that they believed was related to several of the phone thefts that night.

As far as we can tell, only one mainstream #MNmedia outlet reported on this story (and a pseudo mainstream MNmedia aggregator), and it wasn't Star Tribune.
.
Kevron Detrell Williams Gray, 09/27/2003, of St. Paul has been charged in the attack on Jack Nadeau and in another aggravated robbery the following night at bar close in the same location. He's facing 4 felonies between the two cases. He remains in custody.
.
Jamarcus Robert Tucker, 05/23/2001, St Paul.
Also charged with several felonies related to the #MplsDowntown cell phone thefts. Charges say he and Williams-Gray often perpetrated the scheme together.

.
Kicker: Jamarcus Robert Tucker is a self-admitted "gang banger" and SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PRISON, but TWO felony gun related charges in two separate cases were dismissed in a Ramsey County plea deal in Dec '21/Jan '22. He was spun out with time served.

We're told there was significant law enforcement activity at the Chanhassen autoplex facility this morning.
We're checking for conformation on the details.
2/ Likely related.
Details of the death and circumstances are not confirmed.
Other posts indicate his specialized vehicle is still missing.
3/
What we've been able to piece together... Part of this took place in Minneapolis overnight and may also be connected to a shooting or death (or other incident) in Chanhassen prior to that.
The above person, Daniel, was apparently found deceased in a downtown Minneapolis apt/condo this morning on Washington Ave S. after being the subject of a welfare check overnight. He was named as the shooter in the Chanhassen incident (which has not yet been disclosed by authorities).
Neighbor from Hell, thread. 1/ John Herber Sawchak, DOB: 05.19.1970
Currently wanted on at least two warrants. One is an assault case from 2022, the other is a civil mental health case where Sawchak was deemed "mentally ill and dangerous."
2/ A police report was made in March in a separate assault case with another neighbor. Formal charges have yet to be filed because Mary Moriarty's office declined to charge a felony. Now the city attorney will review for possible lesser charges.
The same victim has had numerous run-ins with Sawchak as evidenced by the pile of MPD blue cards they've collected.
South Minneapolis - A caravan of illegally parked vehicles have gathered on Dean Parkway along with about 300 people. Park Police say they are preparing begin some kind of rolling demonstration/protest, but they won't tell police what it's about or where they're going.

2/ The caravan is now blocking all lanes of traffic on Excelsior Blvd and Lake St at the split. 15:07
3/ Now heading back east on Lake St toward Minneapolis. Still won't communicate with police what it's about or where they are going.
Edina - We're getting a submitted report of large police activity at or near LA Fitness.
We'll post more when available.

2/ New info:
Supposedly multiple shots fired.
No injuries.
Suspects: Somali M in ski masks.
Several agencies have responded.
3/ We're now receiving several messages from people who were at the gym and they are saying they think shots were fired inside the facility in response to a fight.
