8 displaced following north Minneapolis house fire

MINNEAPOLIS — Eight people are without a home after a fire tore through a residential building in north Minneapolis early Sunday morning.
The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews responded to reports of a fire in a bedroom of a two-story home on the 3400 block of Fremont Avenue North shortly after 2 a.m.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a large amount of fire venting from the second-floor windows and laid lines before conducting searches of all floors.
Crews were able to extinguish the fire after extensive overhaul, according to the fire department.
All residents made it out of the home safely and without injuries.
The fire department deemed the home uninhabitable.
The Red Cross will be assisting four adults, four children and a dog who were displaced by the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

As Minneapolis Park Board changes registration for youth sports, pre-existing teams are out

Last year, Park Board youth leagues had 806 teams and a total of more than 10,200 athletes. About 10% of the teams were pre-formed, with about 925 participants.
The Park Board is rolling out central registration this spring for baseball, softball, track and field, and flag football because those sports have the fewest pre-formed teams. Seeing how central registration plays out may inform changes later.
Jack Bartsh, the Park Board’s director of athletics, aquatics, ice arenas and golf, said he was optimistic that central registration would improve participation in park leagues over time, but he acknowledged there would be growing pains in the near term.
“I’m willing to go to great lengths to try to get the kids participating and to get the coaches involved,” Bartsh said, promising to go door-to-door at Little Earth to help sign up kids if necessary.
“We’ll get a better idea of how things look after we run through this first season. And if we have to make adjustments, we’ll make adjustments. But I do believe we’re heading in the right direction.”
St. Paul Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Clare Cloyd said teams formed by outside organizations, such as the West Side Boosters, are welcome in St. Paul.

Minneapolis man pleads guilty to role in fatal Edina parking lot shooting

A 23-year-old Minneapolis man pleaded guilty on Friday to second-degree murder in connection to a deadly Edina shooting in December 2023.
According to court documents, Kayvon Madison and about a dozen other people were celebrating a birthday at a restaurant in a strip mall on West 70th Street in Edina on the evening of Dec. 2, 2023.
The shooting happened in the parking lot as some of the celebrants were leaving.
Surveillance video allegedly shows Madison, the victim — identified as 23-year-old Jamal Roberson — and three other men leaving the restaurant and taking pictures in the parking lot. Witnesses said after the pictures, Madison prompted an argument with Roberson by making comments about Roberson’s deceased friend.
The video allegedly showed Madison shooting Roberson five times. Roberson died at the scene, according to the complaint.
Madison’s sentencing is schedueld for April 23.
