Stock photo and blog post by John HoffLeonard Bernard Baker was one of three teenagers arrested in the murder of James Teto Grant's death, which took place in Theo Wirth Park. Grant thought he was going to the park for a gang initiation, but instead was beaten to death with a shovel, his body tied to a stolen car battery and thrown into Bassett Creek, click here for City Pages "Homicide Files" story.
Scrutinizing the Hennepin County jail roster turns up a tidbit of information which adds to the overall picture...
Turns out Leonard B. Baker was "evicted after arrest." So now he is presumably homeless and lives at the jail. The question is where did he live before and who was the property owner who was responsible enough to actually evict him?
Since the jail roster was apparently updated to reflect Baker's new status, finding Baker's former address becomes more difficult. It goes to show that if property owners will actually evict no-account thugs indicted for horrific crimes, property owners can probably keep their names off the internet as the landlords of alleged criminals...unlike, for example, notorious slumlord Bashir Moghul whose background checks leave much to be desired.
