Man shot in Minneapolis this week charged in 2023 mass shooting at same spot
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – An 18-year-old man who was among four victims shot this week in Minneapolis is now charged with nine counts of attempted murder for a mass shooting last summer at the same spot.
Jaden Butcher was charged on Wednesday with the shooting at East Franklin Avenue and Chicago Avenue in August 2023.
In that shooting, officers said two men got out of a vehicle and opened fire on a crowd of people playing dice near that intersection. Eight people were injured in the volley of gunfire.
Minneapolis shooting leaves 8 people hurt
Police say two gunmen opened fire along East Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis’ Ventura Village neighborhood, leaving seven people shot and another victim grazed by a bullet.
Using surveillance video, police were able to connect the vehicle used in the shooting to Butcher’s legal guardian. Officers say that the vehicle had also been used in another attempted homicide at a Valvoline. In the days after the 2023 shooting, officers tracked down Butcher, but he was able to escape the authorities during a high-speed chase.
Officers weren’t able to arrest Butcher until six months later, when he showed up at a hospital after being shot at East Franklin and Chicago on Tuesday.
Butcher was among four people shot outside a market at the spot. The charges state that at least five guns were fired in the Tuesday shootout and 100 discharged casings were recovered.
Butcher was shot in the foot during the recent shooting. He has now been moved from the hospital to Hennepin County Jail.
Police are requesting high bail for Butcher, who they say “represents an extreme danger to the public.”
