Unconfirmed But Widespread Info On Facebook Names Demetrius Harper As One Of Two Killed At Lawless "After Hours" Club...

Twenty-two hours ago, a participant on North Talk Facebook page was all, like, "Gee, we haven't had a murder for a while in North Minneapolis."

To which I replied, "AAAAHHHHHHH!!! Don't say that. You will jinx us."

Fifteen hours ago came stories in the mainstream media about two men dead in a shooting at 39th and Fremont at an illegal "after hours" establishment which had reportedly been frequented by members of a motorcycle club...

The club is located at 3859 Fremont Ave. N. and is owned by Yia N. Vang, whose address is PO Box 11682 Minneapolis, MN 55411. (Other information in online city property records lists Vang in "Elk River," but further address information is not present in the notoriously incomplete and out-of-date property records, including no sales history listed) It should be noted another man was wounded in the shooting but his injuries are not life threatening.

Not only is there no bar license for this address, there's no business license of any kind and 50 to 100 people were inside the club at 3 in the morning (!!) when the shots rang out. The city of Minneapolis, in its awesome administrative and regulatory power, had levied a fine of $220 against the property as part of an "administrative citation fee."

Besides Yia N. Vang being associated with the property, a pollution control annual bill associated with the property was issued to something called Muhammad Study Group just last year. However, one participant on North Talk claimed the study group moved out because of a flooded basement and mold growing on the walls and the owner being slow to make fixes.

Unconfirmed but very cumulative info is being bandied about on Facebook that one of the dead is a man named Demetrius Harper, whose Facebook name is Meady Neverenough Harper. The DOB listed for Harper is April 7, 1980, and he claims to be from St. Louis but currently residing in Minneapolis. Numerous Facebook friends are leaving him "RIP" messages.

The following photo shows Demetrius (apparently on the far left) at what appears to be some kind of low end nightclub, judging by the rigged up yet permanent-looking sound system. Unknown where this photo was taken but others in the picture are identified as Jerome Jackson,  Keith Bart Loc Scott, and Renaldo Valentino Sept.

Photo from same source as previous

Harper's Facebook page includes a funeral tribute to his grandmother, who is from St. Louis, and a couple of R-rated sexual images, obviously not his own but "pass 'em around" Facebook art. One image shows a man performing anal or doggy style sex on a woman with the caption, "I will always have your back." Another image shows a tattooed man "flipping the bird" with both hands and the caption "Fuck the world."

Here are some other photos from the world of (reported, unconfirmed) homicide victim Demetrius Harper.

Nothing says "living large" more than taking a photo of yourself with high end liquor on a street corner with chain link fence in the background and a half-finished beer sitting on the ground.

Here's another photo identified with the caption "At North Mpls."


Note how the chain link is affixed to the hand rail. I assume some kind of dog has the run of the entire front yard at this location. Does any reader recognize this address?

Below, another photo identified with "North Mpls." One of the individuals in the photo (presumably the male in the background) is identified as "Steve Erko."

Does any reader recognize this address?



The photos below speaks for themselves. The bottom two photos are identified with the words "At North Mpls."




The photo below shows where some of that money (however it was earned) may have gone. Check out those wheels. Another photo shows the wheels just by themselves.

Here's a vehicle that doesn't feature the same wheels (count the spokes!) but still appears to be "pimped out" with mag wheels.


On his Facebook page, in the "About" section, Harper wrote, "MONEY ON MY MIND, MONEY ON MY MIND, THIS MONEY IS ALL I THINK OF." For some reason, he was absent from Facebook a couple weeks and last posted on February 21.

His very last post was eerily prophetic:

"I been down so long the only place to go from here is up..."

One of my jailhouse roster postings lists his address as 6345 Lyndale Ave. S.

And his middle name was "Lee."

I will be attempting to dig up more info from the jail roster but at the moment there is another story about a guy with a gun barricaded inside a house and I'm off to cover THAT. Many on North Talk, including myself, have come to believe in the scary power of a jinx. There is discussion that no more talk will be allowed to take place about, oh, gee, we haven't had a murder in a long time, have we?

Is this the "good one" who was supposed to go back to Iowa tomorrow? What about the dozens of police bullets fired in broad day light during a stand off today? Why hasn't the media reported that Dowling was a militarized zone this afternoon?

Nothing says ghetto mentality more than photos of cash. The last one seems to show about $2,000. That's barely enough to pay for a transmission repair. I'm guessing that heirs to the Pillsbury fortune - living on Lake Minnetonka - don't post a lot of pictures of twenty $100 bills. Poor ignorant dead bastard. All you have to do to avoid being killed is just not do obviously stupid things like going to North Minneapolis speakeasies in the wee hours of the morning.

I've met him a few times in the past. He was in prison for about 8 years for shooting somebody and almost killing them in 2001.

Funny, who graced the same neighborhood just a few short weeks earlier and talked about this very thing? Do you think it helped? Was anyone listening at all?

Who gives a shit if these worthless assholes kill each other? In my opinion, we should give them the best weapons and training money can buy, so when they shoot at each other or other worthless bangers, they don't miss and hit any innocent bystanders, though most of the time, the bystanders are worthless too!

Easy-Off oven cleaner offered a two-fer and an anonymous gun toter took them up on their offer. They are contemplating moving their headquarters to north Minneapolis and continuing to make their stock available to the public. Jobs, jobs, jobs, people!

Meaty is now dead and rotting at a very significant pace. His skin is peeling and blistering and the tat that was a star is now being eaten by maggots and i am not talking about his PEEPS, i am talking about little white things that for some reason, like bitch meat.
Meaty is vegetating in an extremely HOT place and is probably sucking beezlebub's cock right now and loving it. Meaty is dead forever and i can only hope that the hating continues and more Meaty's get their bitch "BRAINS" blown out. I LOVE IT :)>

People who live their lives like this guy did don't end up in "Paradise." They go the other direction.

Oh, let me guess, he was trying to change or turn his life around right? And he was such a great guy right? If that was true, then why was he out at 3 am on a week night starting problems with other people?

Comment rejected about Meady. The comment simply goes too far and has nothing to say that is worthwhile. It can be summarized as follows: The commenter does not believe Meady is going to heaven but rather hell, and describes in graphic and sexual detail what he thinks will await Meady in hell.

I'm sure he made a lot of important and valuable investments with all of the cash that he was flashing and his family (3 kids) will be well taken care of.

Have they solved this crime yet? With 50 to 100 witnesses, you would think some one saw something or knew the killer.

March 11 4:19 Do you know what the definition of irony is? You blast people for being negative and then tell every to fuck off and die. That sounds pretty negative to me.

I know that on the second picture from the top of meady and the three men at the 4th street saloon the lightskinned gentlemen (left to meady) should be a suspect in this double murder because he has been pointed out as a shooter from that night
