(FAIR AND SQUARE ADDENDUM, Sept 23. Richardson, 21, was released without being charged due to self-defense and having a valid permit to carry a weapon.
Richardson apparently believed he was being robbed by the man Richardson shot dead, one Earl Lee Malone, 18. Even so, the shooting death of a citizen at the hands of another citizen on a public street is and should be a matter of public record. Watch for an editorial on this topic in the near future here on JNS blog.
If regular media will not give citizens the information they need and want, grassroots media will certainly step into the gap)
The Star Tribune reported today on two murders that took place eight hours apart. There was an arrest in one of the murders, but the STrib reported "the identities of the victim and the suspect have yet to be released. The man arrested is 21 years old and from Minneapolis."
JNS blog thinks the words "have yet to be released" are some kind of euphemism for "it is my coffee break and I do not feel like looking through fifty names on the jail roster of people arrested today, trying to find the one arrested with murder." Ironic how the media who are paid the least are willing to work the hardest or, in other words...
It falls to moi.
Kelvin Dvon Richardson, born 2/17/93 (so he's 21 years old) was booked into the jail at 4:45 a.m today, consistent with an arrest for a shooting that took place 11 PM Saturday night. His residence is 1515 Chicago Ave. S., and his $100,000 bail contains a notation that I have never before seen on the roster:
BAIL REV JUD REV
I assume this means something along the lines of his bail was reviewed by a judge and revoked.
Yes, it's odd how this guy has a SOUTH Minneapolis address and appears to be the guy charged in a North Minneapolis shooting, but it would hardly be the first time something like that has happened.
Allegedly.

so just because a guy is 21 you're making a correlation? What was this guy booked for? I find it hard to believe that a shooting suspect ever gets caught. The rumor mill is also suggesting that this was a permit holder..ask the MPD already on FB.
But he has NOT been "charged."
You need to update the headline, he has not been charged. And this may actually be a case of self defense by a lawful carrier.
Take this shit off!

I read your blog often and find it to be informative and accurate...a bit prejudicial, but that's neither here nor there. This story however leaves a lot to be desired. First you "break the story" and present it as if Mr. Richardson is a common street thug fitting into the usual mold of north side street thug without having any facts. How ignorant you must feel to have headlined your latest topic with the false report that someone had been " charged" with murder in this case only to find that the authorities determined it was in fact a case of self defense. As citizens of the US we have the right, if lawfully obtained, to bear arms and protect ourselves from harm, which was proven to be the case in this situation. Unfortunately there are "grassroots" reporters as you like to refer to yourself as that have now put his name out for thugs to target in retaliation for defending himself against this gang member that clearly attempted to rob the wrong person. If you did your homework you would have found that Earl, aka Eazzie dntshootem Duwoop was a gun toating thug that made a career out of robbing people. His story ended when his plan was foiled however thanks in part to the ignorance of your blog, Mr. Richardson's name is now public knowledge and he is more a target. Pat yourself on the back, you flunked out on this one!
I am not sure where to post this but i saw my name,Tracy Crawford and my son's fathers name L Jones listed on your blog and requesting information. How would i find out what someone is trying to locate me for?
Regarding Tracy Crawford and L Jones, feel free to email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com.
Kelvin's address is Buri Manor- affordable housing through Aeon... often for diabled (mental health, chemical dependency, physical) adults. It's possible he was no longer residing at that address since transition in-out is common.
TO JOHNNY NORTHSIDE YES KELVIN HAD BEEN ROBBED BUT NOT SATURDAY NIGHT HE PURPOSELY CAME OVER NORTH IN HOPES OF FINDING THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ROBBED HIM OF DRUGS THAT HE DIDNT REPORT THAT TO THE POLICE HE SAW EARL AND TOOK HIS REVENGE EARL NWAS NOT TRYING TO ROB HIM SATURDAY NIGHT AS HE STATED TO POLICE HE WANTED HIS STORY TO LOOK GOOD
Haha shout out dude for killing eazzie he had i t coming eazzie take down gang
Dear ALL CAPS commenter.
Is there a shred of proof of that, other than your own anonymous say so?
Jesus loves you and accepts into "heaven". The devil loves you and accepts into hell. Earl will be in purgatoty awaiting a judgement... I guess.
Goddamn proves that justice is a bitch in a mini-skirt flaunting her pubic mess.
Many think the final chapter may not be written on this. Lots of behind-the-scenes discussion.
Graphic comments about Earl Lee Malone rejected. Have a degree of respect for the dead in their state of being dead. Concentrate on what they did during their life. God judges them in the afterlife, not mankind.
Yes, let's concentrate on what they did during their life and let the controller of the Mothership dictate nothing. Get over your personal bullshit with whatever sky god you believe in.
I can't say what I want to say next, so, whatever. First amendment has no traction with this blog.
Not being able to exercise your first amendment rights leads to an Orwellian society and Big Brother breathing down your throat. I do understand that you have to cover your ass and that is your out. Good enough for you.
My Friend Earl Didn't Deserve this it could have been resolved different. Kelvin didn't have to do this to him earl has a family that cares about him. no Mother wants to burry her Son
I am publishing part of a comment, but not all of it, due to the comment containing (more or less) a crude racial taunt.
