Nebraska man stabbed victim during Twin Cities carjacking spree, charges say
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — A Nebraska man is accused of stabbing someone during a carjacking spree in the south metro over the weekend.
The 31-year-old from Indianola, Nebraska, was charged with one count each of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree carjacking, according to a complaint filed in Hennepin County on Tuesday.
Bloomington police officers responded to a reported fight at a gas station on West 98th Street shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Upon arrival, officers found a man whose shirt was saturated in blood. A second man was holding pressure on a wound, according to the complaint.
Officers learned one of the cars at the gas station — a black Hyundai — had been carjacked from someone in Shakopee about 90 minutes earlier. The suspect had allegedly used a knife on the Shakopee carjacking victim.
Charges say the stabbing victim had been pumping gas into his vehicle when the suspect pulled in front of him in the stolen Hyundai. The suspect got out of the Hyundai and demanded the victim’s car keys before getting into the passenger seat of the victim’s car. That’s when the two allegedly got into a physical altercation.
During the fight, the suspect got into the driver’s seat and began to pull away with the victim still partially inside. The victim fell out of the vehicle as the suspect drove away.
The victim suffered from multiple stab wounds and was still hospitalized as of Tuesday, according to the complaint.
Charges say that security footage of the incident confirmed victim and witness accounts of the incident.
About 15 minutes after the carjacking, police in Robbinsdale responded to a crash involving the stolen vehicle on Highway 100 south of 42nd Avenue. The suspect fled the scene of the crash, but was found in the bushes of a nearby barrier wall, charges say.
Two witnesses allegedly told police they had been taking the suspect to treatment when he walked away from them at a Kwik Trip in Shakopee, near where the first carjacking occurred.
The suspect is in custody. His bail is set at $1 million with conditions.
After trailing for nearly the entire game, Michigan needed an improbable hero to rescue an imperfect performance in a top-five rendezvous with Nebraska. Hitting the game winner with 1:07 to go, freshman guard Trey McKenney had the biggest moment of his young career.
“The baseline was kind of open, because they were forcing us to the baseline,” McKenney said. “They wouldn’t give us middle drives. So I just had to take advantage of that and get one in for a layup.”
Graduate forward Yaxel Lendeborg drove in from the right wing and was quickly doubled, akin to how the Cornhuskers guarded dribble drives all game. McKenney’s defender rotated to junior center Aday Mara in the post. Lendeborg found McKenney, who, with a quick fake took to the left baseline bumping into guard Sam Hoiberg and laying it in through contact.
“I thought he got to a spot and played with power,” May said.
In the same breath, May knocked the Wolverines’ offensive rhythm. He lauded how Nebraska’s rotations limited them all game. But in the pivotal moment, McKenney took one of the few things the Cornhuskers were giving them and allowed Michigan to escape.
After May wrapped up his assessment of the Wolverines’ shortcomings on the offensive end, he brought it back to McKenney — but pointed to a moment arguably as big as the go-ahead layup.
“I thought his three free throws were probably the biggest points in the game,” May said. “Sandfort just missed a free throw. We were down (seven). We were in a funk, in a fog. Elliot made a nice pass to Trey (who) jumped up aggressively. Luckily, we were able to get the foul on that play and Hoiberg got under his feet a little bit. He knocks down those three free throws and you can almost see that sense of belief that now we’re getting stops. Our defense is on, now let’s find a way, because at that point you’re down two possessions versus three.”

LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) – Medical experts at the Lincoln Regional Center have determined a doctor arrested for two different cases involving minors is now competent to stand trial.
Dr. Travis Tierney, 56, was taken into custody by a fugitive team at the airport last May. He is accused of sneaking into a West Omaha home to have sex with a boy between the ages of 12 and 15.
Investigators allege Tierney did this three weekends in a row in April 2024.
Last summer, Tierney, a former Nebraska City neurosurgeon, was wanted for allegedly swapping nude photos with a 16-year-old boy in Sarpy County. He was out on bond and not supposed to leave the county when investigators realized he was in Arizona.
State psychiatrists have now determined he is competent to stand trial in both cases.
Tierney is currently in custody at the Sarpy County Jail on a $5 million bond.
