Minneapolis man charged with shooting 2 women, 1 fatally at apartment building
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A 20-year-old man is accused of fatally shooting one woman and injuring another at an apartment building in the Wenonah neighborhood of Minneapolis.
Calon Markus Hatchett, 20, was charged in Hennepin County court on Thursday with one count each of intentional second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and first-degree assault causing great bodily harm in the shooting of two women on July 23.
According to court records, Minneapolis police responded to a reported shooting at an apartment building on the 3000 block of East 58th Street shortly after midnight and found a 30-year-old woman outside on the steps covered in blood.
The victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to the hospital, where she died from her injuries, charges said.
Officers entered the building and approached the apartment where a 24-year-old woman called from inside, saying she could not open the door. Law enforcement forced entry inside and found her with a gunshot wound on the ground. Charges explained she was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery for her injuries.
During an interview, the 24-year-old woman said she was watching a movie with the 30-year-old victim when Hatchett knocked on their apartment door. The victim and Hatchett left, and the two started to argue when she heard gunshots.
As the woman went to check on the victim, she told police Hatchett came into her apartment and shot her before leaving. Officers at the scene located discharged cartridge casings inside and outside the apartment, according to charges.
The following day, law enforcement arrested Hatchett in downtown Minneapolis. Authorities say the firearm used in the shooting was found in his backpack at the time of the arrest, charges explained.
According to court records, Hatchett has three other pending criminal cases, including carrying a pistol without a permit, and two cases of first-degree aggravated robbery.

Minneapolis crash: Teniki Steward charged over fatal incident | Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
A devastating high-speed collision in Minneapolis has led to the deaths of two women and injuries to two others, prompting serious charges against Teniki Steward, a 38-year-old Minneapolis resident. The incident, which unfolded at the intersection of Emerson Avenue North and 26th Avenue North, has left the community grappling with the tragic loss and a renewed focus on road safety.
Details of the Incident
According to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, Steward was behind the wheel of a Buick Enclave, allegedly traveling at excessive speeds and running multiple red lights before the fatal crash. Authorities report that she narrowly avoided a collision earlier at Emerson Avenue North and Broadway Avenue North. Tragically, moments later, her vehicle struck a Ford Explorer, killing both of its occupants:
- Ester Jean Fulks, 53 years old
- Rose Elaine Reece, 57 years old
The crash also injured a 17-year-old pedestrian waiting for a school bus and a passenger in Steward’s vehicle. Steward herself sustained injuries in the crash.
Background and Charges
Court documents reveal that Steward’s driver’s license had been revoked in November 2023 due to a failure to provide proof of insurance. At the time of the crash, she was operating a vehicle without a valid license, as confirmed by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty addressed the case, emphasizing the preventable nature of the tragedy. “This is another completely avoidable incident of a car being driven irresponsibly with disastrous consequences,” she stated.
Steward is now in custody and faces the following charges:
- Two counts of criminal vehicular homicide
- Two counts of criminal vehicular operation
If convicted, she could face up to 10 years in prison per count and fines of up to $20,000.
Community Impact and Ongoing Investigation
The crash has reignited discussions about reckless driving and public safety in Minneapolis. Local authorities and community leaders are urging drivers to prioritize safety and adhere to traffic laws to prevent similar tragedies.
The medical conditions of the injured victims have not been disclosed, and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are ongoing.
A Call for Action
This heartbreaking incident underscores the devastating consequences of reckless driving. As the legal process unfolds, the Minneapolis community mourns the loss of two lives and hopes for justice and healing for all those affected.

Red Dragon, beloved Uptown Minneapolis restaurant, closing after nearly half a century
MINNEAPOLIS — The menu offers plenty of options, but fans of the Red Dragon say they’ll miss how the restaurant really nourished their souls.
“It feels like family,” patron Kathleen Spitzer told WCCO. “Everybody — the servers and bartenders — are so nice. It feels like a home away from home.”
Red Dragon’s current owner, Phil Wong, said the restaurant and bar will shut down on Sunday after nearly 50 years in business; it first opened on Dec. 29, 1976.
“People love this place. They like to come here and drink and hang out,” Wong lamented. “I love them all. They show a lot of love to us and they enjoy our establishment.”
According to Wong, 73, finances and his longevity were contributing factors. The former engineer took over the business from his brother in 2007.
“It costs a little bit more — the food, the meat, the vegetables,” he added. “Minneapolis, too, the minimum wage went up.”
Still, Wong said he leaves with no regrets.
“I feel good about it. I think it’s time to move on,” he said. “We’re ending on a good note.”
Red Dragon is the latest of several Twin Cities eateries to shutter in 2024, including the St. Paul staple Tavern on Grand. Even newer restaurants, like Kim’s from award-winning chef Ann Kim, also in Uptown, could not survive.
