When a double murder happened at an illegal "after hours" nightclub in North Minneapolis, the mainstream media was all over the story.

Click here for the criminal complaint with incredible details and allegations about the "after hours club double murder" which claimed the lives of Erick Felton (pictured above) and Demetrius Harper. The complaint accuses Cory J. Bryant of killing Felton and some guy named Dominique Deshon Sinkfield of killing Demetrius Harper.

As revealed late last night, Bryant is being held on a million dollars bail over the murder charge. I do not have any information right now on Sinkfield but will be digging into that.

More commentary to follow in a subsequent blog post. You read it first on Johnny Northside Dot Com.
