JNS blog has received info from a source I can describe as "frequently in the know, in the mix, believed to be reliable and with no reason to lie" that the name of the 2-month-old juvenile shooting victim at 2413 Emerson Ave. N. is James Early.

But it will be reported AS rumor, not fact, with all the caveats that entails.

I'd be checking buses going to Chicago. Just saying.

This much is obvious about the house at 2413 Emerson Ave. N.

No rental license.

It has now been confirmed that the listed taxpayer, Xenia Grushetskv, (with a "v") is in fact Xenia Grushetsky (with a "y.") Whether this is the same woman who is a young communications professional with a well-developed online profile...not yet confirmed.

But SOMEBODY named Xenia Grushetsky purchased the property in December of 2011 for...

A story in the Star Tribune about the latest North Minneapolis baby shooting, in which a 2-month-old baby was shot in the neck while in the arms of an adult reported to be the baby's father, includes the photo, above. Clearly, the Star Tribune wants to make this blogger's day and by publishing the photo they are saying, in effect, Go Johnny Go.

We all know, by now, the shooting took place on the 2400 block of Emerson Ave. N. The questions lingering at this point are who was involved and where, precisely, did the shooting take place? Based on the photo above, it took place at 2413 Emerson Ave. N.
