Blog Post by Jordan North
Throughout the night and early morning, shots rang out all over North Minneapolis. I heard at least ten this morning. Sadly I have become so use to them, I hardly notice. Several people were actually shot last night. One, still a child, is gone...Allegedly Nehemiah was shot in the stomach and died this afternoon at HCMC.
It seems this young man was near and dear to MANY in Minneapolis, including several organizations...

Police were reportedly called to the 1600 block of Newton Avenue North just before 2 a.m. on a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a juvenile male laying in the boulevard in front of a home. Police reportedly said the teen was found with a gunshot wound to his stomach.
I'm asking WHO SHOT this child? Tell me, I'm not afraid to stand up for a child.
We don't snitch. We just die. Even if it's a child?

Whoever says "die l'z" did this , it's an ongoing debate for us teens here .. he was apart of a gang DOESN'T MEAN HE DESERVED TO DIE HIM & HIS FAMILY ARE INY PRAYERS <3
Rip lil bro.
Rest easy my nigga
And so this blog continues its cynicism of tragic events in north Minneapolis. Jordan North is just as pathetic and disgusting as John Hoff.
My deepest and most sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. Even the best parents can have an otherwise well-behaved child defy strict instructions to be home by a certain time. Kids don't truly comprehend the dangers out there. Peace be with you in this terrible time.
Jordan North is not only doing a fine job, with this blog post she READ MY MIND. I didn't even need to tell her what to do or how to do it, she just ran out and did it.
Beyond that all I have to say is...
How delightful to see a troll using the correct form of "its." Maybe this can be the start of a more enlightened trend.
Could you please specify what organizations hold this kid "near and dear". From the looks of the second photo those "organizations", those that use that type of sign language, are the problem and need to be eliminated from the community. 'Oh that's right the MPD and our city leaders don't do shit about it, nor do the kids' fucking parents with being so cooperative IN A FUCKING MURDER INVESTIGATION as they are.
This is what his teacher shared on North Vent today.
Mike Smieja I had the pleasure of volunteering in this young man's classroom teaching gardening and growing food for the last year of my life. He was so gifted and talented. He was so smart and charismatic. He was one of my favorites. We had a real heart to heart, man to man conversation just two weeks ago. Everybody loved him. He will be truly missed.
RIP KID!
Wat gang was he
Put Mpls. teachers on the list for asshats who don't do shit about this epidemic either. Lots of blood on these peoples' hands. Wouldn't you think a photo of your beloved child or student flashing gang signs would be some kind of red flag?
I'm confused as to which picture he is throwing up a gang sign??? I see a young man on his way to prom! What am I missing??
As far as organizations go there were several listed by his adoring teachers on facebook. He was a part of the MADDADS family, allegedly had an interview to apart of a summer initiative for schools, and the Rev McAfee has already announced the "The Nehemiah Project" he is starting in conjunction with several groups.
I don't know for a fact that he was currently active in gang. I do know in this area, there is enormous pressure to say you are with a certain group. My goal in writing this post is to get people talking about WHO murdered this child. The killer is walking around right now, with a loaded gun....
RIP NEHEMIAH
How convenient for Reverend McAfee the young man had such a distinctively Biblical name. Perhaps those rich suburban churches will be digging deep to help their sister churches in North MInneapolis! What on earth would our inner city churches and social organizations do without this kind of poverty and violence to tell a heart-rending story right before the hat is passed?
In the article written after this one, I was extremely careful to use the word "involvement" instead of membership. The evidence of involvement is right there on Facebook. As for membership, that would require some kind of believable source--like a police criminal complaint against the shooter--to determine if that is the case.
What are you missing?
Go to the other post and find the one where he's wearing the military style pants and you'll see him throwing a gang sign. It's certainly not the only photo that could be selected. Which shows that activity.
OH, yes.
Add that one to the "overwhelming evidence" pile.
Asshole's like this will burn in the fiery depths of hell..it is written in the big winner takes all book bible and all of you apostates will get your comeuppance....me too, I guess....or have maggot's crawling out my nostril's, balls, and hairy exit.
In regard to the poster talking about the Bible, I can't make heads or hairy tails of your point but have approved the comment per my usual tendency to lean toward free speech.
Except for trolls.
Looks like Jordan North took down the picture of him throwing gang signs with a couple of other folks and replaced it with an innocent one of him "coming home from prom" What's the deal Jordan North, trying to cover something up? Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck!
He wasn't throwing up gang signs, he was representing a group he is involved in. If u saw the pic u should've read the comment when he clearly stated what the sign mean.
Perhaps you and T Yzaguirre should get together and discuss the Rev McAfee, you practically mirror each other, with what you say about him. I'm sure it's upsetting to you both, how he is representing your black community.
everything you basically said in this blog was disrespectful simply because your going to far with your stupidity instead of letting this boy rest. You keep putting stuff out there that people already know instead of telling us who KILLED him. you think your doing something by writing this but YOUR NOT. you barely know what your talking about. R.I.P Nehemiah.
hopefully you find something better to do with your time other than sitting around talking about things you DONT KNOW. YOU ARENT MAKING ANYTHING BETTER SO IMMA SAY AGAIN LET NEHEMIAH REST IN PEACE
R.I.P NEMO S.U.B SHIT
I don't think Jordan North took anything down, rather I think your mind isn't wrapped around the fact there are TWO blog postings on this topic of the murder of Nehemiah Steverson and only ONE has the photo of him throwing the signs.
Nope, she swapped photos in this post. There was one with three people, one who looked older and one on a bike flashing signs or maybe they just had the palsy. The tuxedo series photo is new and was not there the first day this post was up.
Some people are just Stupid, Question asked if i throw up the peace sign does that mean im a hippy??? Lol alot of people are ignorant....learn this lesson never judge anything or anyone by its cover. With that said i have my middle finger up so now im in that GO FUCK YOURSELF GANG. DUMBASS
It doesnt matter if he was throwing up a sign or not, learn the lesson of not judging a book by its cover....when you do stuff like that it only shows your ignorance. Im throwing up a peace sign so i guess now im a hippy?
Nope, I didn't swap any photos nor am I familiar with gang signs. I am however flattered that you keep coming back, to read my same post.
What benefits you to lie like that MsJordan North? Clearly a photo was taken down from this very post. If you are trying to protect his image of not being a gang member and remember his as most would like to that is fine but please do not lie and insult your "readers".
Damn I Just Seen Bro Ass Last Week .. Rip My Squad
Let me reiterate that I have said nothing disrespectful about this young man. I wrote only the facts. I have heard nothing but wonderful things from the community, Pastors and teachers, about him. I wrote this so that possibly someone who knows who murdered this VICTIM, might come forward. We don't need anymore killers on the street. Prayers of comfort and peace to the family.
Ms.Jordan North...the point being is that you lied about the subject of the picture being took down. You are now officially part of the problem and have lost alot of credibility no matter what you might say in an enabling rebuttal.
As is typical the insinuations, and unproven accusations of of Johnny Northside and now Jordan North are proven wrong. This young man was not a gang member, and his death was not gang related.
Just because someone displays a hand gesture that appears to be a gang sign, doesn't mean a damn thing about gang membership. That's like saying everyone that sags their pants is a thug.
This blog is tabloid trash and so are the writers.

The Star Tribune has its point of view and I have mine. The stuff on those Facebook pages speaks for itself. Whether he was SHOT over who he hung out with and glorified on his Facebook pages or over just some teenage stupidity, that is an open question. Nobody has been "proven wrong," except a troll who can't keep straight what statements were made about what.
No, the "point," if I grant you have one (and that's still out for the jury to decide) is the troll is all mixed up where he saw the picture. The picture of the young man was up on MY blog post, and not Jordan North's. You're seeing things. Produce evidence to the contrary and I will look at it. Use the Google WAY BACK machine or something.
Dear Troll,
I've NEVER said he was a gang member. The fact that you bored little trolls are reading and seeing things that are not there, might indicate a need for increasing your risperidone.
At this point no one knows why he was shot. Oh, wait, the shooter does. Perhaps we can talk about the KILLER..
Perhaps if you had any capability, Ms.Jordan North, or half-ass credibility, you could choke the truth out of one of the enablers and quit fucking around.
I doubt your existence is based on anything but celebrating your "stature" in your own mind and whoever wants to praise you in your element.
