Word came to me a few days ago from June Leikas, the mother of murder victim Annshalike Hamilton, that Remaro C. Smith had been involved in a high speed chase after being--surprisingly--released from jail following charges stemming from an incident where he held off a SWAT team.
As anybody knows who has ever read this blog, heard about this blog, or stood near a computer where this blog sometimes appears: June Leikas believes Remaro C. Smith murdered her daughter.
Smith is, of course, innocent until proven guilty. Smith denies the charges.
Now comes a new development...
Smith is in jail, facing a raft of charges. Here's the recent Hennepin County Jail Roster:
Full Name: SMITH, REMARO .CORDELL

2/3 KIDNAPPING-TO COMMIT GREAT BODILY HARM/TERRORIZE MINNEAPOLIS PD WARRANT FELONY $0

His bail appears pretty hefty, but given the pattern so far Johnny Northside has to ask: how long before this guy is on the streets again in another high speed chase?
Some details about the charges were available to friends and/or family, who passed them on to me. The assault charges reportedly involve Ann Marie Leikas, who is Annshalike Hamilton's sister and Remaro's girlfriend. A source has described, in detail, the troubling and abusive relationship between Ann Marie and Remaro, click here. It is unknown, however, who the kidnapping charges involve.
My source says "The very day Remaro got out (of jail) he was beating the hell out of Ann Marie." But Ann Marie had a roommate, and the roommate called the police. This is reportedly what led to the high speed chase. Reports are Smith managed to bail from the car, but police got ahold of the car and wouldn't return it to Ann Marie "until she gave up the guy who was driving it."
And so Remaro is in jail. And the wait for justice continues.
Don't hold your breath.

Honestly, it's getting to a point where citizens of North Minneapolis should be writing to their public officials and demanding this guy STAY INCARCERATED before he kills somebody...
In a high-speed auto chase, I mean.
Or beats someones daughter to death. What a toughguy.

Innocent until proven guilty, you know.
For the record.
Remaro"Tough as hell" cordell smith. A typical punk who dare not stand up to a man who would beat his ass and make him a jailhouse hooker.I would love three minutes alone with him..... just long enough to simply choke the piss out of him.You are a spineless coward and i wish you much pain.You are a kaysikia...that is Hangul for a piece of dog shit.... and every piece of dog shit has its day and you are due.I look forward to the day i can piss on your grave if the dirt even accepts you.Fils Du chien punk.
so I found out a little about the assaults and kidnaping. It sounds like the victims were ann marie and his own cousin in witch he was threatening to murder his cousins girlfriend and children. I dont have all the details but that much I do know.
No remaro is a good guy he just made mistakes and for the record he's not a killer he's a drug dealer
