Mug shot, (therefore public domain) of Powell, one of the alleged killers of Hildbran, blog post by John Hoff
Joseph Ensha Obizor was present at the killing of Shabar T. Hildbran, 19, according to authorities and the Minneapolis Star Tribune--which spelled his last name "Obiazor," which is apparently incorrect based on extensive online court records.
Like the two men charged, as well as the man killed, Obizor has a criminal record. Here it is...

Given the fact Obizor was reportedly acting in concert with accused murders Powell and Hunter, but is not charged with murder, it seems likely that Obizor is now "state's witness." No criticism of Obizor is intended by this observation, indeed Obizor may be the sharpest tool in a shed of otherwise dull tools.
