Women were arguing over $50 debt before fatal Minneapolis apartment shooting, charges say
Charges say two women had been arguing over $50 when one of them fatally shot the other at a Minneapolis apartment earlier this month.
A 42-year-old Minneapolis woman was charged with second-degree murder for the May 9 shooting, according to the criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County on Friday.
Police were called to an apartment building located on the 2400 block of Pillsbury Avenue South, where they found a woman who had been shot. She later died at the hospital.
Officers spoke to a witness who rented the apartment where the shooting took place. He told police the victim and suspect had been over, along with an unknown man. The two women were allegedly arguing over $50.
The witness said that while he was in the bathroom, he heard the unknown man say “what are you doing?” before shots were fired, according to the complaint. He claims he saw the suspect with a gun earlier that day.
Both the suspect and the unknown man left the apartment before police arrived. Officers obtained survelliance video, which charges say showed a woman matching the suspect’s appearance leaving the apartment in a hurry shortly after the shooting.
Investigators found and interviewed the unknown man, who said the suspect and victim had been arguing over a debt when the suspect went into the bedroom and returned with a pistol. He says he told the suspect to stop, but she fired multiple shots at the victim anyway. He added that the suspect threatened him as they left the building, and he got away from her as soon as he could, according to charges.
The suspect originally denied any knowledge of the shooting, but eventually admitted to being at the apartment where it took place after being confronted with survelliance video images. She denied being involved in the shooting itself.
The suspect is currently in custody. Her bail has been set at $1 million.
Monday will mark five years since the tragic killing of 6-year-old Aniya Allen in Minneapolis.
Family says it’s a loss that will never heal.
“I went from anger to being heartbroken, “said KG Wilson.
Allen, 6, was hit by a stray bullet. It was the second of three child shootings in a three-week span that shook Minneapolis.
After that, Allen’s grandfather walked away from his well-known role as an advocate for peace. Now five years later, he’s ready to push for change again.
“I’m coming out of a mask of tears, hurt, anger and grief,” said Wilson.
The pain of losing a granddaughter continues to hurt his soul.
“I cannot believe that human beings can hold in a secret of somebody who shoots and kills an innocent child,” Wilson said.
The person who shot and killed Allen has not been found. In February, William Burton was sentenced for straw purchasing dozens of guns, including one used in the shooting of Allen.
For years, he stood on street corners, helping families searching for justice after their loved ones were taken by gun violence.
When Allen was murdered, he left that work and left Minneapolis.
His pain turned to anger.
Sitting on the bench where he announced his retirement five years ago, Wilson has turned his anger into action.
“So much grief and so much anger still, but I decided to, instead of just sitting, to channel it into something positive and productive. I’ll be coming up out of retirement after five years it won’t be in Minneapolis, but it will be in St. Paul,” said Wilson.
Wilson wants to help, anyway he can, to stop the violence and save lives.
Working in Minneapolis is too painful for him, his focus now is on the capital.
“I couldn’t save the life of Trinity or Aniya. I couldn’t save LaDavionne from getting shot. None of those three children, but maybe I can come back out of retirement and save somebody’s child or their grandchild and that’s my mission and it will all be in memory of Aniya.”
A $180,000 reward is still being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction in Allen’s killing.
Wilson is planning an Angel-versary celebration for Allen on Monday. Family and friends will gather at Lakewood Cemetery at 4:30 p.m. for a memorial to include a ballon launch. Everyone is invited.
