Following up a rumor that a concert by rapper Young Dro had been cancelled tonight by the City of Minneapolis due to threats articulated in conversations posted on this blog (click here for the hottest thread in the history of this blog) JNS blog has confirmed the concert was canceled for public safety reasons.

I do not normally seek information under false pretenses but I'm going to admit I did exactly that tonight because I wanted, the info, I wanted it bad, and I was going to get it...

Today Corey Davis, self-identified "big bro" of accused killer Devon Parker (who allegedly murdered a 69-year-old grandfather in his homestead in a ruse to seek help from a Good Samaritan) got on a crime watch Facebook forum and told concerned citizens to "shut the fuck up and mind yall motherfuckin business." (sic) Rather than adding analysis and commenter, I am simply sharing the entire conversation here verbatim...

On the same day I got word Devon D. Parker, 20, committed a murder on the day he was supposed to be in court over alleged probation violations, word reaches me that baby-faced criminal Glenn D. Smith has been released on pretrial conditions. Smith, charged over a gang related alley shooting in which a senior citizen was grazed in the face, had been sitting in jail while his son was born.

No doubt playing the "new daddy card" to the max, Smith (who goes by Chief-Chuck So Iicey Smith on Facebook and no, that's NOT a typo) was pictured on Facebook today holding his new son. The jail roster shows Smith was released on "pretrial conditions." Three assault charges were dismissed but Smith still faces burglary and being a prohibited person in possession of a weapon. Smith's trial isn't until May.

I suspect if Smith keeps his nose clean until then...

Devon Derrick Parker Arrested On Murder Charge, Held On Raft Of Additional Charges, Too...

Mugshots are public domain, blog post by John Hoff

Devon Derrick Parker (DOB 4/8/93) was arrested today on charges of murder and a raft of other charges and is being held on $60,000 bail currently. Bail is likely to increase since that's bail for a less serious charge and bail hasn't been determined on the murder charge...

A Friend Of Slain Gang Leader Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington Sings "Halo" In Grief Stricken Voice...

Youtube embed, the blog post is by John Hoff

In the course of hot discussion about music videos released by "Da Movement" which appear to reference the murder of gang leader Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington at Epic Nightclub, this blog has embedded videos of those songs and shared with the largest audience in this blog's history. Indeed, while abhorring the violence glorified by the songs I have been somewhat complimentary of their technical prowess, the bold First Amendment expression, and daring artistic innovation by the musicians; smashing the boundary between "what is art" and "what is evidence."

But I am certainly not taking sides, here. And I committed myself in a public way to giving equal time to any musical expression by the "other side" in the name of fair play, journalistic integrity and (good Lord!) putting the focus on music instead of KILLING EACH OTHER...

This blog continues to obtain hot leads and information from North Vent Facebook forum, (NVFF) which has become an online journalistic entity in its own right; more editorializing about THAT another time but at the moment somebody has been murdered.

A known and credible person on NVFF reports the scene of tonight's murder of an unknown male (click here for mainstream media coverage) was 3739 Aldrich Ave. N. and APPARENLY took the photo, above. After posting some information moments ago the poster "went dark" and hasn't answered further responses about HOW HE KNOWS it was 3739 Aldrich Ave. N. and whether he took the photo above.

The information is, however, sufficient for blog purposes. To avoid the possibility of a dreadful mistake, however, I am not going so far as to publish the name of the owner(s) of that homesteaded property quite yet until more info is confirmed.

Police Finally Catch Up With "Church," Prolific Drug Dealer Who Allegedly Sold Fatal Heroin At Nasty Penn Wood Market...

Stock photo, blog post by John Hoff

It was back in February of 2013 when this blog reported on Devon "Church" McFerrin, who allegedly sold fatal heroin at the nasty little Penn Wood Market "inconvenience store." Mainstream media were all over the story, but this blog was able to add to public discourse about "issues of the day" with a copy of the criminal complaint and digging into the two addresses associated with McFerrin.

At the time, of the story police were "seeking" McFerrin...

Something is up in Hennepin County and it appears to involve arrests for voter fraud. On January 25 I reported on the only arrest I've heard about in Hennepin County, ever, for voter fraud. The location of that alleged incident was not known, other than it involved Hennepin County.

But tonight I have learned from the jail roster of a second incident and this time North Minneapolis appears to be involved...

What Did It Mean When James Horshaw Jr Wrote "we kill da Nerds just got da kall dat kill confirmed?" Does This Reference Tyrone "Ty Crack" Murder At Epic Nightclub?

Contributed image, blog post by John Hoff

Red hot discussion continues surrounding the murder of Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington at Epic Nightclub and music videos (click here and also here) apparently referencing the murder.

The image above, though published here for the first time by any media source, is old news to police. In fact, MPR wrote an extensive piece about a warrant served in this matter which sought material published on social media shortly after Washington's murder. 

However, an anonymous and actually unknown-even-to-me source with a fake email account has been sending material my way to "shine a light" on Washington's murder. Some of this material (not yet published here) seems to overlap things the police were seeking, other stuff is ambiguous...

In the course of a red hot discussion about "Kobe Diss," a music video purportedly discussing the murder of Tyrone "Ty Crack" Washington at Epic Nightclub, somebody sent me a link to a video on YouTube actually shot on the night of the shooting. Before you excitedly click on the video, keep in mind it doesn't show a lot...
