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.
Voters in Minneapolis turned out in record numbers for the 2025 municipal election, city officials said.
According to the unofficial results, 147,702 voters cast their ballots in the election, which is 55% of registered voters. That’s compared to the previous record of 145,337 voters, or 54% turnout, in the 2021 election.
Citing a report from the University of California San Diego, the city says Minneapolis was one of only two U.S. cities to have more than 50% of voters cast ballots for a municipal election in 2021. The other city was Seattle.
“This year’s record-breaking turnout is something our entire city can be proud of,” said Katie Smith, director of elections and voter services. “It’s a reflection of the incredible dedication of our voters and the 1,900 election workers who made Election Day run so smoothly. On Election Judge Appreciation Day, it was inspiring to see our community turnout and participate.”
City officials say the record turnout was partly due to early voting, which had the second-highest turnout the city has seen in a municipal election.
Voting results will remain unofficial until the Municipal Canvassing Board approves them. That meeting is set for Monday.
Live results in Minneapolis elections
After polls closed at 8 p.m., WCCO News began providing live results online from every race in the state.
The Minneapolis mayoral race has yet to be decided as of 8:45 a.m. Wednesday. With nearly all ballots counted in the first round, no Minneapolis mayoral candidate garnered enough votes to prevent second-choice votes from being a deciding factor in the race.
Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey holds a 10-point lead over his closest challenger, state Sen. Omar Fateh.

More than 2,300 boxes have gone out since the latest deal with Shipt started in June, almost two-thirds of the goal to provide 42,000 meals, or 3,640 boxes, by December. Appetite for Change typically spends about $65 per box, including delivery.
“Our main goal is to have people rethink food,” said Nicole Powell, Community Cooks program manager at Appetite for Change. “We found that a lot of people looking to change their eating habits don’t know where to start.”
Shipt first awarded the program a grant in 2023, which was renewed the following year, as part of its investment in organizations expanding food access.
The planned number of boxes delivered and average cost per box puts the total funding at more than $235,000. But Shipt declined to say how much money it has contributed toward the meal box program.
“We believe that access to healthy food plays a critical role in strengthening communities at large, whether that’s improving student outcomes [or] promoting wellness,” said Khadijah Abdullah, vice president of culture and community at Shipt.
