Murder, I Wrote (Well, Attempted Murder) 

It was back in July when I wrote about Trae Patterson (pictured above) and a guy who turned out to be his brother, Tyrel Lamar Patterson, sitting next to each other on the jail roster. Back in July the murders were coming so fast I couldn't catch up. I was actually looking for a jail booking for a RECENT murder when I came upon charges against the Patterson brothers stemming from an incident in April. 

Well, despite two more fatal North Minneapolis shootings eight hours apart, click here and word of yet another shooting (unknown if it was fatal) a block from my house at 22nd and Aldrich Ave. N., I am actually catching up a little...

It's A Homicidal Form Of "Deja Vu All Over Again!" While Trae Patterson, 22, Sits In Jail On Two Murder Charges (Possibly ATTEMPTED Murder Charges) A Guy Named Tyrel Lamar Patterson, 25, Faces Nearly Identical Charges And Sits In The Same Jail, And One Space Away On The Jail Roster!

THE MURDERS ARE COMING AT THE BLOGGER SO FAST I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A BATTING CAGE!!! 

See previous article, written, like, MINUTES AGO. Trae Patterson is charged with two counts of second degree murder. Could be attempted murder, the roster has a tendency to muddle that particular charge. And assault. Bail set at half a million. NO, it's not part of the Fourth of July spasm of murders, these arrests took place back in MAY and no other media caught the story to tell us any details. Mainstream media are too high and mighty to sift through the jail roster like a blue heron trying to stab minnows with its beak. 

Well, last evening this blogger started at the letter "A" on the jail roster, and started working my way through the surnames. Last night I arrived at Trae Patterson, and today I wrote about him. Feeling satisfied, feeling a sense of accomplishment, I clicked on the next name in my "March To The Z," Tyrel Lamar Patterson, age 25. (DOB 4/13/89) 

WHIZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! There went another ball into the cage and I have to SWING AT IT! Patterson (this NEXT Patterson, Tyrel Lamar Patterson ) faces IDENTICAL charges, and was arrested on 5/27/14, one day earlier than the OTHER Patterson. (Cousin? Brother? What the heck?) 

Tyrel is held on identical bail of half a million dollars. He faces...

Trae Marrey Patterson, 22 Years Old And A North Minneapolis Resident, Is Charged With Two Murders (Possibly ATTEMPTED Murders) But WHICH ONES? As Luke Skywalker Said, "THEY'RE COMING TOO FAST!"

Murder Most Foul! And Most Unknown

Trae Marrey Patterson, born 6/9/1992, is sitting in the Hennepin County jail right now with bail set at half a million dollars. He is charged with assault and two counts of MURDER--2ND DEGREE--WITH INTENT--NOT PREMEDITATED. 

The online roster sometimes adds a level of confusion with certain charges. Attempted murder is sometimes shortened up to, OMG, MURDER, (!!!) so room must be left for doubt and the possibility these are, in fact, ATTEMPTED murder charges. 

However, young Patterson's arrest is NOT part of the...
