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.

HARTINGTON, Neb. (KTIV) – The 38th annual Tour de Nebraska bicycle ride started Wednesday morning, June 24, sending more than 200 cyclists from across 21 states on a five-day trip that begins and ends in Hartington.
Day 1 consisted of a 50-mile ride from Hartington to Vermillion, South Dakota. Tour Director Charlie Schilling said the weather was “absolutely gorgeous” as riders took in parts of Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa from their bikes.
Ray Hanley, visiting from Little Rock, Arkansas, said he rides “three, four days a week” and has ridden in 30 countries. Randy and Therese Kiser said they have biked in several foreign countries — including Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Ireland — and decided to ride in Nebraska this year.
Schilling said the tour relies on community partners and rest-stop towns along the route to support riders and help create a good experience. Riders also pointed to support along the way, including food, access to bike mechanics and hospitality.
What’s next on the route
On Day 2, riders are scheduled for a 54-mile loop through Elk Point, South Dakota, and Akron, Iowa, before returning to Vermillion. Schilling said some cyclists plan to ride a “century,” or 100 miles, on Day 2.
From Vermillion, the route continues to Crofton, Nebraska, before the ride returns to Hartington for the finish.
Schilling asked drivers to be courteous around cyclists and help keep everyone safe.
Local rider finishes Day 1 in four hours
KTIV also spoke with Gabe Broz, a Nebraska rider who finished Day 1 in four hours. Broz said gummy worms and gummy bears are his “secret trick” along the trail.
Broz said the hills were not too bad, but the wind was “kind of a killer” for him.
Day 2 for riders is scheduled to include Elk Point, South Dakota; Akron, Iowa; and Spink, South Dakota, before returning to Vermillion.
